I have met Mike for the first time back in 2003, if I am not mistaken, through his wife Sue, with whom I worked together with at the Hilton in Bracknell.

It was a house party at Mike and Sue and, although we never met before, I shall always remember Mike's smile and gentle soul, treating me like someone he had known for many years.

I didn't have a chance to meet Mike many times after that day, but his sweet personality and general positive attitude to people and life in general, it is something that I shall remember forever.

God bless your soul, Mike Thomson, a true gentleman inside and out.
