Michael was indeed Mr Pershore cared for the town and the people. Was kind, caring, interesting and most knowledgeable on many subjects. It was a joy to be in his company. He was a great support to my son Matthew Winfield when he was Mayor of Pershore. I am sorry to hear of his passing and we extend our thoughts and prayers to the family

I had the honour and pleasure of working with Michael when I was Secretary To The Friends Of Pershore Hospital. I have never met such a lovely, kind, caring man. I can well understand his early background as he was such a clever man.
I am sorry to hear of his passing and acknowledge he really did some wonderful things in his life time.
Rest In Eternal Peace my dear friend.
