Mike Hannibal's FuneralAnn Hannibal wishes to thank everyone for all the kind words, cards and telephone calls, which are helping her to get through this very sad time. Mike's funeral is to be on Wednesday 28th February, 3:00pm at Manchester Crematorium. Following the ceremony, there is going to be a celebration of his life / party / wake, which Mike would have wanted. Ann has said that if anyone wants to wear black that's fine, but to wear it with bright colours / red / United tops, or bowling shirts. She has also asked that if anyone wishes to attend either or both of the above, to ring or text her on 07771 789526 to let her know, as she needs to have numbers to arrange a suitable venue and for catering purposes. The venue has yet to be arranged, so she needs to know numbers as soon as possible. | |

Sincere CondolencesIt is with great sadness that we learnt today (Monday 5th February) that Mike Hannibal has sadly passed away. There have been many tributes to Mike and all are in the same vein - Mike was quite simply 'a lovely guy' and he will be missed by all that knew him. He played for Wythenshawe A in the SMIBL and also represented Stockport in the NESMBA. Our bowling community has lost a true gentleman and our thoughts are with his wife Ann and his family at this sad and difficult time. Best Regards SMIBL Committee | |
