Mike was one of the most remarkable people I've ever met. It seemed there was no challenge he couldn't beat. His achievements as a respiratory medical specialist speak for themselves, but the engineer in him was as strong as the artist, and alongside the welding, electronic control systems and software, his house is dotted with paintings, sculptures and bronzes that showed he could excel at anything he wanted.
I had the privilege of Mike and Trish's hospitality at their island of tranquility during my travels around the country, and one of my fondest memories of Mike will be him clapping his hands and laughing with delight alongside my young girls as they watched a Pink Panther movie after one of his trademark gourmet meals.
I wish I'd told him then what an inspirational man he was. He showed that with a bit of passion, anything is possible.
Thanks to those in here who have gone to support Trish. She's another treasure.
regards,
Andrew Lockwood.
