It is with sadness that we learned of Michael’s passing. He displayed a  lifelong commitment to public service, first in the military and later as Town Crier for Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire. Michael was well known in our community for his great physical presence, astounding vocal force and above all his positive have-a-go attitude. He regularly attended (and won) competitions around the country and his warm personality made him a very a very popular crier.

We mourn his loss and send our condolences to Margaret and the people of the East Riding who have lost a very special ambassador.
