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.

One of my first encounters on this newsgroup was with Mike, sad to hear
he's gone. Sincerest condolences to his family.

Apologies for lateness, I don't look in very often these days.

The funeral is tomorrow and he will be buried with his first wife Wendy. I
have today spoken with both Liz, his wife and his son Jamie and they asked
that I let you all know.

I remember Mike's daily postings on the Winter of 1962-63 in a
sequence that spanned a winter a number of years ago. That was an
absolutely fascinating account and remembered with great affection.
Really sad to hear the news of Mike's passing.

This is very sad news. I have been away and only just read this. Mike was
one of the more sensible and level-headed posters on here, to say nothing of
intelligent, and his posts were always worth reading. Cancer is a scourge
which has taken off many good people before their time. It was a mercy that
he had family with him at the end. Please convey my deepest condolences to
them. It's a sad loss for them and for us all in the group.

Very sad news indeed. I spent a little time with Mike at his caravan in Donegal
the year after Wendy died. He was an interesting man and I would have liked to
get to know him better. I'm pleased that I did get the opportunity to meet him.

This is very sad news. Though I didn't meet Mike I always appreciated
his knowledge and insight on this newsgroup.
My thoughts are with his family. Rest in peace, Mike

As someone who regularly "lurks" but very rarely posts, I can only say how
sorry I am to hear this. A well respected member of the group, I always
enjoyed reading Mikes posts along with those of a few other regulars. Many
years ago, I had a vey interesting online discussion with Mike on
atmospheric physics issues on another science based newsgroup.

Please pass on my condolences along with all the others to his family.
