Mick worked most of his life in the building trade and his hobby was racing pigeons. He didnt really have much ill health in his life.

In January of 2009, Mick started to feel unwell and in June, was diagnosed with terminal cancer and sadly, within 3 months, had passed away.

During those months, Mick carried on as normal as much as possible until a few weeks before his death. He left a large void within the family but is remembered by the affectionate term of 'Grandad Grumps' by his grandchildren and his very quick wit by people who knew him.

Mick was a good husband, father of 6 and a Grandad of 18.
