His wife Yvonne has sent this personal message. Dear friends of CJM, I wanted to let you know the sad news that Mike died just before 6pm on Thursday 6th June. It was a very peaceful death and I was at his bedside at St Giles Hospice in Lichfield, where Mike was cared for so well for the last few days of his life. The words ‘take me home Father, Spirit and Son…‘ from Song to the Trinity were playing as the Lord called him home. http://www.indcatholicnews.com/news.php?viewStory=22653 2013-05-30T10:19:43Z 2013-05-30T10:19:43Z A Service of Thanksgiving for the life of scientist Joe Farman, was held in the Chapel of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge on Thursday 23 May.
