Dear Chris’s & Family. We are so sad to hear off the loss of Mick, our memories are so good off the times we spent we you all in NZ. Mick was the reason we came to NZ in 2007 and kept coming back. You and Mick, Joanne & Tim made us feel so much a part of the family. My memories of Mick go back to our school days at Cavendish & Maybury schools. Times spent cycling around the country with Ian, Alan and others and of course train spotting and the youth clubs good times. So many things I think about our time together make me laugh and proud I knew you as a pal & friend. Since Molly and I met back up with you & Mick our times spent with you all have been the best and the memories will stay with us always. Hopefully Chris, Joanne,Tim & boys we will see you all soon. Our thoughts will be with you all Monday and beyond. Lots of love Molly & John xx

Dear Chris and family. Irene and I were sad to hear of Mick's passing and pass on our sincere condolences. It has been a pleasure to know and work with Mick. I have fond memories of working with Mick on many occasions on the Maui A Platform and Maui Production Station. Mick treated everyone equally and fairly. He was a very professional and thorough tradesman, and a very well respected union representative, during the early days at Shell, BP and Todd. Our thoughts are with you and family.
