Mike Billington

[merligo]

Carie,

Whilst searching for Anne & Peter info, I came across a couple of
theatre ads in a Scottish newspaper re Mike for Sleuth in early
1973. The issues I checked didn't include any articles but at least
one of the local papers would almost certainly have included a review
and possibly an interview. Are you interested if and when I find
more details?

Carrie,

This is indeed very sad news to myself and my husband and to all I am sure
who are in this and other groups for programs in which Mike played such fine
and memorable roles. His worked touched all our lives.

I have left a message in the GuestBook and I am sure that you will pass on
our condolences, love and sympathy to his family and friends.

With best wishes

Cari

Hello there,

 

Yes it is a very sad time for all his fans and of course his family.

 

If I could ask you all to be patient on this matter, as the news of Mike's death was supposed to have remained private until after his funeral on Monday when his family wanted to make a public announcement, this is mainly for his son Mike Jnr.

 

If you would like to make a donation for Macmillan Cancer Care or Marie Curie Cancer Care as this is the request of his family no flowers etc.

 

As members of Mike's fan team we ourselves have not sent any condolenses directly as this was the request of his family, and we felt also that now isn't the time..when we do we will be sure to say that any feelings or thoughts, sentiments will be passed on will come directly from his fan community..I will let you know so that you may like to pass on thoughts etc..or better still put them on the guestbook on the mikebillington fans site at http://www.mikebillingtonfans.com and we will be sure to read them and pass them at the right time.

 

Mike was 63, and as you may or may not already know, he had been suffering with Cancer for a few years but had kept that information private, none of us at the team knew,we were all in contact with Mike very often and would meet up with him so we were very shocked to learn of his illness, but to me this shows what a great person he was never to have burdened others with his own suffering, don't know how else to put it into words..

 

I hope this answers any questions and please I ask that you all respect the wishes of his family in terms of flowers etc

 

Many thanks,

I have a long association with the Isle of Man. My
mother lived there as did some other relatives of mine. I spend many weeks a
year in the IOM where I share a holiday home with my brother.

 

Reading the June copy of "Manx Tails" a
free magazine, I noticed an article about the Laxey mine, and was surprised to
see Mike Billington's name mentioned.

 

I never realised he was a resident of the island!
Must have passed him in the street somewhere on the island over the years
and never realised!

 

Although the article is really about a little
railway and not about Mike I thought maybe some of you might like to take a
look at it. So I have posted it here for the time being:

Bill.
