Mike reid died today at 67.
he is said to have died of a heart attack.
He retired to Spain 2 years ago after the big janine story line.
I think its such a shame to see such a great man die. He always made me laugh & smile.
personally & i have always thought this. When such busy people who have lead such busy lives as mike did, retire there bodys give up. I know so many old people and when they stop or lose mobility there bodys start giving up. Its such a shame.
Its ironic, he retires to enjoy the rest of his life & quality time with his family & this happens.
God bless him and his family.

When you exercise a warm down is as important as the work out . i think work is the same and when you retire stopping isn't good. Look at all the actors actresses that live to a ripe old age - most have been working right upto the last - in some cases like Tommy cooper even die whilst working
