Dear Mike, thank you for being such a wonderful friend and neighbour for so many years. With your sense of fun and mischief, as well as kindness and understanding, you touched the lives of so many.
Over the last few years especially, we have "chewed the cud" like a couple of old codgers, often over a cup of tea or coffee, put the "world to rights" and laughed at the madness of everyday modern life, despite the fact that we have loved every minute of it. You told me many times that if you could've had your life over again, you wouldn't change a thing. As you have said, surely goodness and mercy have followed you all of your days. We have been blessed to have known you.
You have been a "mighty good man", a loving and devoted husband and father, a best friend to many and a fine example to us all; you will be deeply missed. Rest in peace or "rock on", Mike - "it's what you want it to be", mate.

In loving memory of Michael Frederick Thorpe who sadly passed away on 7th March 2019. Born to Eric and Lilly Thorpe on the 19th November 1940, with one brother and three sisters. Michael was loving, kind, and generous, with a warm happy infectious personality. He had been happily married to his late wife Mary Thorpe for well over fifty years, and between them they had three sons Timothy, Ian and Nicholas, daughter in laws Alicia, Kathy and Tracey, with eight grandchildren and great grandchildren, several nephews and nieces, and great nephews and great nieces, which if able he kept in contact with and met up with whenever possible, all of whom he was very proud, to the extent he had most of the walls in his house covered with their photographs. He was also surrounded by an ever growing community of friends and neighbors. Anyone privileged enough to have met our father will know what sorrow and loss that his sudden passing has caused, and will undoubtedly leave a hole in all of our hearts. He will now be reunited in heaven with his wife, son, parents, brother and sisters, daughter in law and friends he has lost over the years, your memory will live on within us all, sleep well Dad we love you xxxx
