I have been in conversation with one of Mike's brothers Shaun, I have forwarded comments and many photos, I will speak to Arran and other mods and see if we can set up a permanent Mike Bosworth 'In Memoriam' section for anyone to post memories up as and when. I am sure everyone like me is remembering things all the time now.
Shaun has sent me this and asked me to post it
"Thank you all so very much for sharing your memories and your condolences for my brother Mike.
It is extremely comforting for me to know that he was a part of a community of people who came together to share similar talents and passions.
Mike is quite a bit older than me. Growing up he was my best friend and took on the role of my father after our parents divorced. I learnt an incredible amount from Mike. We did everything together. He was always making things, fixing things, improving things.. Really complicated things. I have no idea where he learnt to do most of it. Especially in a world before the Internet. His creative drive and attention to detail will always amaze me.
Throughout most of his life Mike was mostly a "loner". That was just how he was. I never knew him any other way. He once told me that he left school having never being part of a good group of friends. Even so many years later he was quite sad about that. I know many of you may never have met him in person, others may not have got to know him very well, but I want to thank you all for giving him something in life that he always wanted. To be part of a community of like-minded people, to feel valued and respected. You all gave him that, and I will forever be grateful. I hope his memory can inspire you all to continue to do great things together.
Thank you again,
Shaun Bosworth"
