Mike was extremely talented and an awesome friendly guy, will be sorely missed in Blackmount and Western Southland as he was heavily involved in local activities ie community, fire brigade, new swimming pool etc. Mike and Lynette were extreme quizzers and whenever I set a quiz for the fire brigade or community I threw a curly question a nd it was always the Mclees team that came up with answer. Sorry I am not well enough to be with you Monday but hopefully get someone to drive me up to seeypou all soon With heaps of love and respect Phil Masters

We have great memories of Michael, at school, on the farm and at morning and afternoon tea times with Lenore and Glen around the kitchen table at Dunluce. Michael always wore a large smile. Thinking of you all at this very sad time, and sending strength for the future x
