Had known Michael since 2001, when he was running Mitchells in Hornchurch, then when he went to Rayleigh. Michael could talk and talk about all different subjects, even the ones he didn't know to much about. Above all he was a good listener and he always made time when ever I bumped into him. I will miss that I won't be sitting in his barbers chair again. Rest In Peace

I only found out yesterday, Jx & I are heartbroken. You will be missed my friend and never forgotten; I will always treasure the time we spent since meeting you at Primrose Lodge in 2018, you made me laugh and you are and always be a diamond geezer. Rich & Jx xxx

I visited the shop every few weeks since it opened and every visit was memorable, listening to your stories, chatting about football, family and everything in-between. One of the funniest, honest and most genuine decent bloke I've met. You will be missed mate.

I’m sorry I was unable to be there today. I only knew you for a short time, but you was always a stand up character, salt of the earth bloke who always had the time to ask about my family and children. Rest easy mate, your family and friends will look after the rest. Love to Harry too x

There was never a dull moment when you were in the room Mike! It was a pleasure to of meet you 💙

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Michael. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
