In loving memory of Michael Hamilton who sadly passed away on 30th January 2018

Mick was a wholehearted fan of the 1950’s and it’s music. He still used the old money and measurements in his everyday life; dressing like
A Teddy Boy (second generation) whenever he needed to look smart.

Before I met him and for some years afterward, he was a wreck fisherman (with his father) and won several awards at his fishing club in Sandgate near Folkestone.

He worked as a council gardener until just before we got married and then transferred to caretaking so that we would have a flat of our own.

For anyone who can’t make the funeral, he is dressed in his Teddy Boy clothes, with a DA and quiff, will have a phonograph needle in his hand and a rock’n’roll record at his feet, so that he can ‘rock his way right out of this land’. Ronnie Dawson ‘Rocking Bones,

He leaves a wife and two children, who miss him already.

He is on his way to meet up with all his favourite r’n’roll stars that have gone on before. Rock on Mick.

You were rarely understood by those closest to you. A much deeper person than at first glance. Happy to share in his love of fifties music. Loved his wife and children no matter what.
