Mike Gillott: A fond farewell to a very special guy

Dear All,

A lot of you will have met Mike Gillott (from Nottingham) at our functions in Leicester and Chesterfield. I am very deeply saddened to have to tell you all that Mike lost his fight on Tuesday night, 12th May.

Joanna Rigby, his beautiful daughter, and a ferocious fighter for her beloved dad's cause, told me the sad news yesterday.

He was a wonderful man, one of the bravest, who never once complained.

His wife Brenda, son Andrew, and Joanna are in a state of shock today. Let us all bear them in our thoughts and prayers.

God Bless You Mike

REST IN PEACE

  5. Both my Brenda and I enjoyed chatting with Mike and his wife at Chesterfield and we were amazed at their fortitude in facing the battle they had been fighting up to that point and how they wouldn't let them get the better of them.

    Rest easy Mike and our condolences to Brenda and the rest of the family.
