  5. We send our love and heartfelt condolences to all of Mick's beautiful family at this sad time. Mick had never ending love for his family ❤
    Mick was a hard working man with a friendly and lovely personality. We would meet up in the supermarket, Mick asking about everyone, than we would get on to the fishing.
    Mick you have completed your work here, but left your love behind - now time for that well earned rest mate! RIP ❤ ⚘️

  18. Farewell Mick, I knew you in earlier times as a wonderful tradesman with high standards of workmanship, then in later years I would see you off fishing in a tiny boat “toot toot”. You had simple pleasures and a fervent love of God, rest peacefully mate, Leon
