I umpired appointed games many times with Mike, and it was always a pleasure to see our names together in the upcoming schedule and equally so at the matches themselves. I always found Mike to be fair, conscientious and considerate, as many have noted already. He is a great loss to the hockey world in general and to Berks HUA, who handled many of his appointments. This has been very sad news, and my thoughts go out to family including all at AC and all who counted him as a friend. Graeme Dow Berks HUA committee
