To Mike's family, rest easy, Mike has always been a champion. Strong opinions, strong convictions and strong advocate and participant in all your contributions to so much in all your beliefs. Nothing changed from our schooldays. Len and Heather Jury.

I got to know Mike back in the 1980s when he was a Taranaki County Councillor. As a councillor Mike was straight to the point, practical, a strong advocate for his community, and I enjoyed working with him. Well done Mike for your service to the community.

Aroha flowing to you Val, Darryn & all your family on the loss of beautiful Mike. We are so so sorry to hear this news. Mike was an incredible man -moving into Hussey St we bonded over fishing & gardening :) His cheeky smile, funny stories & positive outlook will always be cherished & I’ll be forever grateful for him teaching my boys the art of whitebaiting when we moved to Hall terrace. Biggest hugs, arohanui Esther, Andre, Joel and Khan xxx

Thinking of you Val and family Mike will miss you at Probus and your jokes

Thank you Mike and Val for70 years of friendship I hold the memories and nobody can take them away. You have always been a great father to your lovely family and you loved your fishing and white baiting. Rest easy Mike your work is done.
