I am so very sad to tell you that Mike died on Tuesday. As some of you may
know he had lung cancer and although he had one lung removed, followed by
chemotherapy and radiotherapy last year, another tumour had developed
fairly recently. This had caused swallowing and breathing problems and a
week or so ago, he had a stent put in his throat to ease the pressure and
help his breathing. Sadly, after this he developed pneumonia and it proved
too much for him. He died on Tuesday, his family all with him at the time.

So sorry to hear about Mike this morning; we cremated my father on
Thursday so I can truly empathise with Mike's family for the grief
they must be feeling.

His connections with Coventry meant that he often sent me his
experiences of our local region. The death of his first wife caused
much grief on this newsgroup, his subsequent happiness at a new life
uplifted us all, but now this!

It comes to us all. but much too soon for some.

Cheers Mike, it was a pleasure 'knowing' you.
