I'm shocked to hear this terrible news Phil....I cannot imagine what you and the family must be going through.....

Mike was a very active member of this forum and a true Greeves enthusiast and clubman. His enthusiasm and contributions will be greatly missed by everyone.

My sincere condolences to you and the family at this awful time.

Brian.

A terrible shock, I was only talking to Mike on the phone earlier this week, he was telling me about the Scottish he had bought in the Bonhams Stafford auction. My condolences to you Phil & your family.

Phil,

I also am extremely sad to hear the news. As has been said, Mike made good use of the Forum and it was good to hear about his factory days. I was only talking to John a couple of days ago about the Stafford bikes.

The only consolation is that Mike was full of enthusiasm and embarking on another project right to the end.

We shall certainly miss him both on the Forum and as a club member.

On behalf of the GRA committee and members, please accept our sincerest condolences.

Sorry to read of your loss. Although I didn't know him I must have seen him in the auction room as I was talking to Mike Jackson about the Greeves and the expected prices. Sincere wishes to you and your family. Colin

Such sad news. I had a great chat with Mike at Marks Tey less than a fortnight ago. He was so pleased with the way his Pathfinder restoration had turned out. All round nice bloke.

Many sincere condolences to the family and thanks for letting us know.
