Dr Mike Bruton MBE

It is with sadness that we learn of the death of Dr Mike Bruton MBE.

A former Local Preacher in our circuit, we remember Mike for his

cheerfulness and for his services taken from his wheelchair, as he struggled with a debilitating mobility disease, which he had had from childhood.  Indeed, the circuit benefitted from his positive attitude and advice (for example) on how our churches could be adapted to be more friendly to those with disabilities.  Mike was Mayor of Windsor and Maidenhead in 2003-2004.  We send our prayers and sympathy to his family.

Mike’s funeral is on Thursday, 15th June at 2 p.m. at the Oxford Crematorium, Headington, OX3 9RZ.  It will be followed by a reception at St. Nicholas Church Hall, Ifley Road, Old Marston, Oxford, OX3 0PR from 3.00-5.30.  His son, Roger, hopes that the service and reception will give everyone an opportunity to celebrate his father’s life and share memories of him.
