    • Thank you.
      Mike always was up for a coffee and a chat.
      Funny how many times the plumber turned into a friend.

  1. Thinking of All Mike’s family at this sad time. Sending hugs as well. Mike was just the kindest man, with a huge warm and caring heart. I am going to miss him coming for coffees, we would sit and chat about all kind of things for ages. I met Mike when he came to do some plumbing work at our home just over 3 yrs ago. I got to know him better when he did the gas work for my Pottery kiln. Sadly he never got to see it going, But when I do my firings now I will be thinking of him and see his smiling face. xoxoxo

    • Mike thought highly of you. He was keen to see that kiln in action.
      He always enjoyed a challenge and
      something new as he had never done
      a kiln before.
      The man always loved a chat and a coffee.
      Thank you.

  2. I met Mike the plumber only 2 years ago yet he soon became a person that I looked forward to having around. His big and bold personality, warm smile, wisdom about life (I didn’t agree with everything he espoused ) and his thoughtful genuine kindness were second to none. He was a standout human who would do anything for his family and friends. Mikes ability to listen and talk real about life without any hidden agenda personifies the true Aussie spirit! Never forgotten. RIP
