I was associated with Mike when he and I were co-directors of the 30 Malbrook Road Residents' Association. He was a great guy, the perfect English gentleman, and always gave out a sense of well being and all being right with the world when he was around. My best to his family. Damaris Steele

Hi have fond memories of Mike and Patence. I was an Air Cadet on exercise in Germany far away from home. Mike and Patence picked me up and welcomed me into their home. I was smothered with love. I went on to join the Army and Mike was always so generous when we met. Dad and Mum adored Mike as he did their company. Mum was Godmother to Mark. We as a family have always adored the Liley family. Mike will be sadly missed but leaves me and our family with many, many happy and treasured memories. One of the best. Andrew Griffiths
