Mikey, what can I not say. You came into my life when I was a young person forty plus years ago. We are Godparents to each others children. You have been my friend/brother/confidant.  There are things that only you and I know and I thank you for this.
The strength and guidance you have given me has always been there. You have always been there for my children and the many holidays we had together are treasured.
Imagine your Goddaughter had my first Grandson on your birthday.  The planets were moving.
You as a man have led and opened the ways forward for so many people. From picking me up in your Corona to the wonderful God bless man you have always been there.
This is one of the hardest tributes I have had to do. Your love for your family knew no bounds. Cecil,  Caswell, Carmen,  Pansy, Robert and Josephine (sixpence) I have been honoured to be in your family.
Jacky,  Darren,  Donovan and Michaela i love you all and this is such a hard loss for you all.
Mikey,  your love and presence will always be with us. Joy  giving, love and happiness is all that you were about and wanted to  share. Sleep well.
Love you Mikes xxx
