I am shocked to here that Mike Flood (Vamps) passed away on the 16th September. He has been a long standing member of the Forum and a regular poster of some Great Times on here. At the Lakes Meet he used to take his Daughter Emma Louise (Elf) who my daughter Leanne made friends with. Elf has asked if I could put something on here as she didn't know what to say.
I am sure everyone will be as shocked as myself in this sad news.
My love and thoughts to you Elf and your Mum and family.
God Bless Mike xxx
-
I have no idea what to say. Never met in person, but plenty of chatting on here, especially as he was fairly local.
Thoughts and condolences to his family and friends.
-
RIP Mike and our sympathies go out to Eif and all Mike's family at this sad time. John, Carol and family.

I am just posting a few things that Emma Louise has said.
He has been for a while but we didn't know it was that serious, the funeral is next Thursday if anyone wants to or can get up to come, it's at Coundon Crem at 1:15, then back to the Cross Keys. He went in on Tuesday with low sodium then passed away Wednesday afternoon. We don't actually know how he died yet tho the post morton is showing everything clear😕 they thought it was cancer again but he is completely clear of it xx
-
Rip Mike. :'( :'(
-
Anyone wanting to come up is welcome to use my house as a stopover - I'm a half hour from Mike's hometown.
Ive not done this thing before - is there a way of setting up an OOF Cancer Research fund so if we all drop a couple of quid in, it can go as one lump?

Very, very sad. RIP Mike :(

Well that is a shock, a real shock. I oft joked with him about being my dad. Not feasable when he was younger than me for a start.. What a real shame after he had just made the break and changed jobs and life stresses.
A real loss to the forum. My thoughts are with his family.
-
A great shame indeed and such a young age.
Thoughts go out to the family at this sad time.

-
Had a great sense of humour, especially after a tot of whiskey.Will be missed.
-
I am numb with shock reading this! :'(
I regarded Mike as a dear friend & met him often in person after getting to know him on OOF.
He was a fellow ex Matelot and a thoroughly good bloke all round. Not long ago we were talking about his retirement plans from his very stressful job & new opportunities in the pipeline and how much the family were looking forward to the future. I hope to be well enough to attend his Send Off and shall pass on everyone's Condolences to his loving wife Carole, Miss Vamps and Family.
R.I.P Mike Flood, Passed over the Bar September 16th. 2016.
Taken early as only the Best are!
God Bless Mike, see you on the Other Side. :'(
-
Totally shock to here this. Our thoughts are with his family
RIP mike
-
Rest in peace Mike, a true gent :'(
-
Absolutely stunned at this sad news of the loss of such a decent person and such a young age. Mike will be sadly missed by all those who knew him, either face to face, or on here. I had the pleasure to meet Mike on a few occasions, and always had a good laugh together.
My sincere condolences to those family and friends who have lost a warm, kind soul.
-
I kind of read this earlier and, while trying to process it, posted a few short words. Mike was a member on here for a very long time, and I feel I should say a bit more.
I never heard Mike being rude to anyone, he was always ready to listen and try to advise. He obviously adored his family and was very proud of his kids. He hinted to me a few times that his job could be very challenging, mentally and physically, and I admire him for sticking at it as long as he did. I have some idea about what was involved and, although I guess he had some pretty bad days, he never brought it on here.
In short, a very ordinary and decent man, taken far too soon. God bless you Mike.
-
Been on here for year's but never met Vamp's in person. I do recall his posts being regularly focussed on his daughter "Little Miss Vamps" typical dad of a teenager type stuff that resonated with me and mine greatly and it was cystal clear how much his family meant to him :y. 58 is no age to be passing on and my thoughts are with his family at such a terribly tough time x
-
So sad to hear of this news . Rest in piece Mike , you will be missed by all :'(

So very sad and shocked to hear of such a sudden loss. I've never met Mike, but enjoyed his posts, and many late evening chats with him (Vamps). Life's certainly not fair to go at such a young age.
