Gillian, Anne & Richard. I am so sorry to hear of Michael’s passing. I remember when he was a teenager coming to the office to visit your Dad. It seems he had his Dad’s sense of humour. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
The class of Nautical Science students sends our condolences to the family. In the short time we got to know Michael, he was a man filled with positivity, humor and was unlike any other. He will be greatly missed, and we all cherish the short time we had to share with him.
I’m so sad to hear of Michaels’ passing. He was far too young to go. Sadly, I did not get to know him but David and Norma did last year. They tell me he was a great character with a fine sence of humour, definately a chp off the old block. My thoughts are with you all and I shall be raising a glass to him and all my cousins tomorrow. RIP Michael.
