Another early Berks and Oxon member passed.
Mike and Carrie were stalwart in their support for the area and it's activities when we started it in 1977. I think David has captured Mikes personality perfectly and the thought of him mediating between Mike and Chris made me laugh out loud.
Mike's early life was interesting and I suspect influenced him in later life. Some found him difficult to deal with, as a very young area secretary I found both Mike and Carrie nothing but endlessly encouraging and supportive and his restorations inspirational.
I'm very pleased to hear that Mike found peace in France after Carries untimely death, like David I lost touch with them and felt sad that I could not offer condolences to Mike, Carrie was a lovely lady and very kind at a time in my life when things were not very good.
Some people you meet and pass by, some stay and some go but are not forgotten Mike and Carrie Hoffman are in the last category
so long Mike
