In loving memory of Mike Dolby who sadly passed away on 4th December 2016
Dear friends,
It is with a heavy heart we report the sad loss of Mike, a wonderful husband, brother, father, grandfather, coach and friend.
Mike passed away peacefully on Sunday 4th December aged 75 at the Marie Curie Hospice in Solihull. Although we lost Mike suddenly, he had been living with a debilitating lung condition called Pulmonary Fibrosis for nearly 3 years. Those who knew Mike will understand how frustrated he would have felt to be incapacitated in any shape or form! We are therefore grateful his life ended peacefully and with so many great memories and achievements to remember him by.
Mike's funeral is on Wednesday 21st December 2016 at 11am, Robin Hood Crematorium, Streetsbrook Road. Solihull. B90 3NL. After the service we welcome you all to join us at Moseley Cricket Club which is also on Streetbrook Road.
We have been overwelmed by all the lovely messages and cards people have sent the Dolby family. This online book of condolence will eventually be turned into a hardback book for future generations of Dolbys to enjoy. We therefore ask everyone to post any messages, stories, photos and comments from their experiences with Mike onto this site.
The biography section of this Obituary will be updated further after the funeral.
Best Regards
Margaret, Louise & Julie
