His next of kin is his wife, Mrs Sandra Parkin. He has two daughters, Samantha and Amanda. Mike as he was known suffered with Parkinson's and was living with Dementia.
Mike joined the Derbyshire Police and was the youngest Sergeant in Derbyshire when he was stationed at Whaley Bridge. He served in Buxton, Ilkeston, and in 1972 was a trainer at Pannal Ash, Harrogate. He later served at Long Eaton and Alfreton, eventually finishing as Chief Inspector at Headquarters Training School until he retired in 1995.
