Just heard the sad news yesterday.  Would have attended the service.  We have fond memories of Mike from the Richmond Arms.  He will be missed.

Becci Himes and Peter Evans

Saddened to hear of Mike's death. Please accept my condolences.

I wish I had known earlier, so I could attend Mike's Memorial service. Mike was one of my favorite people at Ogilvy...we did great work and had tons of fun doing it. Mike was so close in those days that he and his family came to our house for Thanksgiving several times over the years. I am crushed as I'm sure his family is. Clif joins me in wishing his family much sympathy and love...Ann Iverson

I am very sad to hear of Mike's untimely passing. I worked with him for a short time in our frame shop. A very sweet man. He adored his sons and talked about them all of the time. He popped into the store not too long ago to say hi. ( or as Mike would say, hello, dahling..) He will be missed. RIP, Mike

Greg, Nick and Alex....so sorry to hear about your loss.  May he be in a better place with no pain.  You are all in my thoughts.

Mike will be missed. Always enjoyed a good chat and a pint at the end of the bar. He always had good advice and a dry wit to lift your spirits. RIP Mike.

It was very sad news to hear of Mike's untimely passing . The last few days have given an opportunity to reflect on the many conversations over a period in excess of 25 years.Mike was an extraordinarily creative individual, very much recognised in the advertising world both here and in London.

Have one on us Mike,

Shaun & Rosemary Wymes

I was stunned to learn of Michael's death. As young families, we had many good laughs, and a particularly rememberable stay at a Galveston beach house. I do see Michael's wit in all of his sons! You are in my thoughts and prayers.

This is a hughe loss, he was a great friend and always had a wry sense of humour spread over many a good pint or two in the RA. He will be sadly missed.

I was saddened to hear about Mike.  He was a wonderful person and I enjoyed working with him on various projects.  I loved his wit.  He will be missed.

To my mentor and friend,
May you always have a sketch pad and marker at your side. You never know when a BIG idea will hit you.

I was very saddened to hear of Michael passing away. I had known him for 22 years and always remember how much wit he had. A real professional at his job and a pleasure to be around...May you rest in peace brother and your memory will live for a very long time. Mark Culmer (Houston, TX)

He will be truely missed. Prayers go out to his family. Many pints and great conversations over the years.

Many fond memories over 26 years. Mike was a remarkable and interesting character. Often bizarre and very funny. A rich, dry humor and quick wit with a sparkle in his eye. Gone too soon.
A kind man who I will miss. 
I liked him very much.

Our thoughts go out to Nick, Spike & Alex.

RIP Mike.

Mikes humour and wit will be missed by everyone, a great loving individual.

Sad news and a terrible loss to us all. Fond memories of fun times. We will miss you Mike. However, I am sure we will also celebrate your life.

God bless, Doug Gibson (Scotland)

A good friend who will be missed as will be the long and winding conversations over a pint. Great memories over many years.
Our thoughts are with his family.

I'm so sorry to hear about Mike.  He was a sweet soul with a quick wit and wry sense of humor that always kept me laughing and on my toes. Our trip to the English Lake district for a job was a hoot from the moment we started the planning of it, to the non-stop one-liners from Mike until we got back. He helped me on many jobs to look at our projects differently, in a creative way, and in a way that only he could see. I will miss him very, very much. I only wish I had had more time with him.

SO sorry to hear of your loss.  Our hearts go out to you now and in the days ahead.

Michael was a great resource when we needed him.  He will be missed.
