Mick was such a wonderful grandad to Jasper and was always thinking of him. When Jasper was very young, Mick often sent him interesting posters from The Guardian (about planets or dinosaurs and all the other things that Jasper was fascinated by). Whenever Mick went off on his travels, he sent postcards and brought home exciting gifts for Jasper (the little tub of sand from the Sahara desert was a real highlight!). And, later on, when Jasper developed an interest in and love of classical music, Mick started taking him to concerts in London. Even though Mick didn't live near Jasper for most of the last 26 years, he was a very important presence in his life. He was a very loving, caring and thoughtful grandad and will be very much missed by us both.
