Having thought my first message didn't go through, I endeavoured to place another. I am proud of my beautiful brother Mike and the rest of my siblings equally. We wil all miss our "6" sibling get togethers, so much love, fun and laughter ..... Marylou

I have made 2 entries as I didn't think the 1st one went through. Nevertheless I could write and write and talk about my darling brother over and over. Pride doesn't come close to how I felt about Mike.

My name is Marylou "Crimston" Lewis and I am the first born sister of Michael Joseph Crimston. My first memories of Mike go back many years, in fact from the age of 3, so obviously I have known and loved Mike for over 50 years.

I am saddened to hear of Mike's passing. Mike worked in the office next to mine in Williamtown in 2001; I have fond memories of popping my head in for our regular chats. An absolute gentleman.
