Mike Fossey aka ‘Keep Smiling’
It saddens me to bring news of my brother’s departure from this life following a very brief illness. Mike has been with travelblog for more years than I care to remember, telling tales of his travel adventures and sharing colourful blogs from his beloved India, where he made so many dear friends he always considered family.
A keen photographer, he was able to capture the true spirit of India, returning to remote villages with photographs from previous years to give to excited children. I consider myself so fortunate to have shared some of those pleasures with him in recent times.
He will be remembered by many and missed by all for his friendship, his generosity, his good humour and his constant message to us all – ‘keep smiling’.
Our thoughts are with his wonderful family: his wife, Pat, a son and daughter, and two grandchildren.
So, smile for my little brother as we wave him goodbye.

Great sadness & sending a smile
David & Janice, It is with great sorrow that I read this notification. We loved reading Mike's adventures and yes he seemed to dearly love India. I know he wouldn't want me to have my current tear in my eye, that he would want me to smile but I am saddened by another travel blogger leaving us. Mike was an exceptional writer and I felt like I knew him. Sending you love ... and a smile across the miles. MJ
