We'd like to extend our deep gratitude to all, for the prayers, support, comforting messages, calls, flowers, cards and gifts during this time of bereavement.

Since announcing our Father's passing, we have been overwhelmed by the wonderful messages and memories shared from all over the world. Michael had friends from many walks, areas, and eras of life, and we're very much looking forward to reconnecting and meeting some of you for the first time, during such a difficult time.

Your memories and experiences with him have really give us comfort during this time.

We will be webcasting the service for those of you who cannot join us in person, which will be available to stream for a period of time after the funeral.

With deepest thanks,

Bridie, Ben, and Storme

Funeral Details

South London Crematorium

1st December 2023

12.00pm – 1.00pm

Officiant: Bob Noble

To celebrate Michael's love of fashion, please feel free to come dressed in your dapper best. No matter the colour, pattern, or style, nothing is too bright or bold. This is his last catwalk, and he'd love to see us all looking fabulous in our own individual ways.

Please meet outside the service chapel by 12pm. Guests will be asked to take their seats before the pallbearers bring Michael in. Pallbearers will be lead by Ben.

Wake

Please join us at The Bull pub in Streatham after the funeral, so we can toast our dad, share stories, and enjoy the memories together. We have an area reserved at the pub, but since we are expecting a lot of people, we will not be providing food and drink. There is a paid bar and food available at the pub.

The pub is 1.5 miles from the crematorium, a 15 minute walk, or 5 minute drive. It is next to the big Sainsburys.

The Bull pub: 498 Streatham High Rd, London SW16 3QB, United Kingdom

I didn’t know Michael for long. In fact I first met him in August this year whilst I was working as a Barman in a Porlock Pub he frequented. He would usually come in and have a couple of glasses of Merlot and perhaps a bite to eat. On quieter evenings we would have chance to have a good chat at the bar – Him telling me a little of his life and I usually rabbiting-on about my time spent in the Army. He was a softly spoken chap, generous, kind, and known by many in the village as a “nice old boy”. It was a pleasure to know him. “Cheers to you Michael. You were a true Gent.”

Loved this man once and even though it’s been decades since I last saw him, I still have many happy memories of his kindness, fun and unique style.
