Madeline, Mike, Lynn and the Kelly family,
So many great memories of talking to Mickey at various Maginn functions and speaking to him often in the mornings as he was dropping off kids at Colonie High. His smile and quick wit were always appreciated. Please know that my thoughts are with you during this trying time.
