The passing of Mike Bancroft yesterday is a sad and timely reminder to live your best life, for all. Mike or (Father Mike to many) was one of those people. He was always there to listen, add a gem on life or a cheeky quip depending on the situation.
Michael was a regular at Urge Bar and our Bear events and even dance parties.
He always presented us with a sweet birthday card each November for the Urge birthdays.
Some of these will go to the LGBTI archives.
You are loved Mike, by so many. Shine on us all wherever you may be now.
Hugs
Paul, Everett and all the Urge crew you knew.
RIP X
