Messages of condolence

With much sympathy to the family and kind memories of Mick. Eira

Mrs Eira Hunt

I remember my Uncle Mick’s smile and gentle laugh. He was kind and a good listener. I can’t imagine him raising his voice or getting angry (unless he was watching sport on TV of course). I’ll always associate him with chocolate, cricket, charades and a Ford Capri!

In memory of a "unique" character.

Mrs Pauline Haynes

Sorry we can not make it to the funeral today but will be thinking of you all.

Dear Lib, I am so sorry for your loss, Mick was such a gentle soul, so different in temperament to his Brother David. When I first played for Stratford as a nervous 16 year old Mick made sure I was okay. The dressing room at Stratford in those days could be very intimidating for a youngster. We played for many happy years together he is someone that I remember very fondly in my advancing years. It is with great regret that I will not be able to attend the funeral I am away on a golfing holiday with John Kerby. My sincerest condolences. Brian Young
