Micky is best remembered by myself and my brothers as a dashing handsome vistor in 1973 to our home in Montreal with Madge, Mom's cousin. In 1993 I had the privilege of visiting with Madge and Micky in Scottsdale
The Coelho clan was privileged to have a person of Micky's verve and personality, and we will miss that verve dearly in a world of grey and dullness

Dear Madge, Michelle and Mark:
Mike Valladares and I worked at the same bank though in different departments. From the first days of his arrival he enjoyed the reputation of a voracious problem solver and a captivating and highly regarded Business speaker - the likes of which this State had not seen up to that point. If Mike had not arrived at the time that he did the Arizona banking industry would have been hard pressed to invent him. He made pulp of seemingly intractable International trade documentation hurdles and did so with unabashed delight as a result of which he gathered a devoted following. Also, to those of us in the trade it was easy to see why he was the only Banker on the Governors Trade mission to the Far East. Arizona was good to him and he was good for Arizona.
Madge, even though I have met you just a couple of times or so and Michelle and Mark only once in your teenage years I feel that I know you and of you through Mike’s eyes and offer you my sincere condolences on your loss. He was most proud of his family and your achievements and it was easy to see why he so eagerly shared the information with all of us around him. As a fellow immigrant with a young family I took a vicarious delight in the information. And I always enjoyed the somewhat regular updates.
I hope we will have an opportunity someday soon to convey our sympathies in person. In the meantime please know that our prayers are with you.
Nimal shares my sentiments.
