I just want to add my sincere sentiments to Mick and his family and extended military family.

I worked with Mick briefly whilst he was aboard my ship HMS Hermes. He always had a smile and always encouraging. I was devastated when we found out the Helo ditched resulting in the catastrophic loss. I’ve always wanted to try and trace any of his relatives so that I could share a story or two with them  regarding our brief friendship.

RIP Mick

Steven Regolo
