And he shared his thoughts at the annual Celebration of Life.
Mike, who was the partner of our own Elizabeth Gomm "Auntie Libz" to our Happy House family, died in May 2017.
It was two years after he had started sponsoring Teddy that Mike was told he had incurable cancer.
He had always hoped he would see Teddy grow up to make something of his life, putting to use his excellent Happy House education.
When Mike died, donations from his funeral, were towards funding Teddy's schooling.
Teddy treasures his letters from Mike and the watch he bought for him.
Teddy also spoke about his devoted grandfather and the part he played in shaping his life.
