Dear Beverley and Family
I was sorry to read in the Post that Michael had died. I first met Michael in 1969 when we purchased your Lucknow Terrace house. Since then I have occasionally enjoyed Michael”s company and always appreciated his quiet humour and conversation.
Best regards
Brian (now in Eastbourne)

Dear Bev, your lovely girls & families.
Have just Michael’s death notice in a paper I had not had a chance to read until now…
So have missed his service. I am deeply upset.
Michael is one of the nicest, kindest, funniest & creative men I have ever met.
I will cherish the positive support he showed me when invited to join him & selected others at Art House many years ago. What a privilege.
He gave me good advice, enjoyed my morning teas in the adjoining room to his, & we had many a discussion. I will always value, & appreciate the time I knew Michael.
A gem in the rather difficult world for a single woman in the Advertising World.
Bev, I truly feel for you.
He was a special man, & I know he adored you.
I’m not down your way a lot, but if I can, may I call by ? Are you still in the Khandallah home I knew ?
Much love to you all, Karen (Kaz) X
