Dad was a man who loved his family and nothing would come before that not even himself. He left his wife Jacqueline and 2 children behind, a son, also named Michael 15 and a daughter Steph (me) 17. Michael said at a press interview "He was the best dad. He helped me with cadets in Yeovil and ironed my uniform. He has inspired me and I want to join the air force in the future." I wasn't able to make a comment as i was in hospital at the time.
