This news knocked me for six when I got the call, I've only known Mike for say the last 6 months and we've had some highs and lows but all out laughs. I never got to meet his family and I can only imagin what they are going through. I would like to come and pay my respects to him and his family, but I have know idea of the dates, can anybody help me ?

Very sad news indeed. I don't know if this will happen,but generally a death notice is placed in the obituary section of the Hereford Times, which will detail the funeral arrangements.Sometim
es if a death is un-explained there is an inquest,this can delay proceedings.Hope this is of some help. My sincerest condolences to his family and friends.
