Our dearest Mikey What a lovely 'adopted' neighbour you have been for us here in Austen Ward Heights for the last few years. Roger and I have loved listening and swapping stories with you (mainly fishing and gardening) but also hearing stories about different parts of your life. I will always smile when I look at Jonny's letter box that you proudly repaired. We will miss you greatly. Love Lois and Roger.

Here’s a photo of you, Papoo.

σε αγαπώ πολύ παπού. I love you so, so much, my beautiful Papoo. I loved all your crazy stories, our many phone conversations, and the precious time I spent with you. I wish you could have kept living your incredible life for many more years. I love you so much Papoo. καληνυχτα.
