It is with great sadness we have to announce that Mike collapsed and died at home on Saturday 17th April 2021.

He loved, and was much loved by, his family and friends.

Active until the end, Open Age was a cause dear to his heart.

Even in lockdown, he enjoyed acting, writing and cooking and was very much looking forward to getting back to sailing small boats and hugging all his family, especially his five precious grandchildren.

If you would like to raise a glass to Mike and listen to some music, may we suggest:
