For me, Mick's passing was a new and more thought provoking experience than I would have expected. Here was a guy whom I'd met in group discussions that I'd been involved in, but I'd never seen him or heard him speak! He knew his stuff (and must have had some excellent records), and delivered it sometimes in a mischievous and funny way. I liked his sense of humour, his style, and also the occasional blunt deliveries - mostly, I could identify with them.
I had no idea that he was seriously ill, so it was a real shock when the news was posted. With his knowledge, he would certainly have made some good contributions to the group in times ahead. A great loss. My condolences to his family.
