Michael and Karen would very much like to thank all family and friends (and everyone their dad chatted to on his much loved travels throughout Banchory on the High Street, Tesco and Morrisons, Raemoir Garden Centre and Burnett Park) for the kindness shown during the passing of their dad, Mike. Sincere thanks to Jack at Brian Smith Funeral Services for handling all arrangements in such a caring, compassionate and professional way at this incredibly sad time. Thanks also go to Heather Morrison MBE for conducting the service and John, the Gordon Highlander piper, who granted Mike's final wish of being "piped out.”
