Doreen, Mark, Michelle, Ryan and Family sending our thoughts to you all for the loss of Mick. Having known him when Sarah and I went to your family home after school in Whitehills. Our families have formed a life long friendship. Mick was always there to help my mum with any support, odd jobs and errands. During my annual visits to London I got to spend time with Mick forming a friendship and have valuable insightful discussions. He was always interested in my welfare and gave me lifelong advice that I will carry with me. Thank you Mick. A pure Gent and a gentle soul. Godspeed my friend.
Doreen and family, We're terribly sad for the loss of Mick. He was such fun to be around and we'll miss his annual Milani cottage visit. Our thoughts are with you.
Doreen and family, my condolences go out to you at this difficult time. Mick was the kindest and most thoughtful person I had the pleasure of knowing when I worked at the Chamber. He was always there to lend a hand and always ready with a smile. Take Care,
Dear Doreen, I want to extend my heartfelt condolences. Mick was truly a remarkable person. His kindness and dedication left a lasting impression on everyone who had the privilege of knowing and working with him. Please know that my thoughts are with you during this difficult time. He will be deeply missed, and his memory will be cherished always. With sympathy, Julia Cunningham
Mick always had a smile on his face and was quick to share a laugh. I enjoyed his charisma and will greatly miss him. My condolences to Doreen, thinking of you as you navigate life without your best friend. My love to you.
We are so sorry to hear about Mick's passing. Our thoughts are with the entire Beattie family during such a difficult time. Mick was a great guy and we sincerely enjoyed our lively discussions everytime we had the opportunity to get together.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to Ryan & Jade and their entire family for the loss of a special man in their lives. Thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Mick was a great guy, always happy to meet, and very helpful, knowing politics, finance, home repairs and many other topics. He was our wonderful neighbor for 11 years and friend for 25 years. We enjoyed having him visit us in Arizona and seeing the Grand Canyon, Sedona and 4 Peaks. And Mick was always ready to help out our family with lots of advice. He was a wonderful husband, father and grandfather. And we enjoyed walking with him and Doreen and our dogs. We have so many happy memories of our times together.
Worked with Mick for years at Photochemical Research Associates and at Photon Technology International. Did a great job keeping production going over many, many years! RIP Mick
Mick truly liked to hear about what was going on in your life. Especially if you hadn’t seen him in a while. He’d interject with questions so, he got the full picture of what was happening. He was a great friend to everyone and especially his mate’s in his inner circle. RIP Mick!
We moved to Mick's street two doors down almost exactly 10 years ago this past month. Mick was one of our first neighbours to greet us and make us feel welcome. He always had a big smile and on our daily walks, we looked forward to meeting up and chatting with him. He would never hesitate to lend a hand when needed and we could always count on him to keep an eye on our home when we travelled. Mick was one of a kind and will be sorely missed.
Mick was the life of the party at the London Chamber of Commerce Business After Five Events for years, and he made sure you bought raffle tickets. We'll miss his upbeat spirit, his smile, and his genuine friendship. He was a terrific Granddad, often missing a monthly get-together because one of his grandkids was at hockey. Sometimes, he'd slip away from the hockey for just a moment to say hi and get right back to them.
