Mick, how do I begin to thank you for your friendship over the years. You were always there for me & always knew just what to say. I'm going to miss hanging out with you & hearing your words of wisdom. I find comfort in believing that Dave was there waiting for you with a cup of coffee in his hand & saying "come on, I'll show you around". Heaven will never be the same. May you rest in peace Mick. Hugs to you Jeanne, Danielle & Duane.

words can not express how much you will be missed. You were like a father to me and I will always remember the memories we shared together. You taught me so much about what is important in life and I will never forget it. Your influences over many will not be forgotten & thank you for your honorable service to our country ! I look forward to seeing your car and music collection when we meet again someday.
God Bless

My thoughts prayers & deepest sympathies to Jeanne, Danielle, Duane & Family may you all find comfort in this difficult time

So sad to lose a great guy at such a young age. We'll miss the fun shared, especially the 24/7 good times at our place in Arkansas.
Thanks for all the auto mechanic work and the special help with our daughter's wedding, but mainly for your friendship and all the warm memories. Rest in peace, Mick.

Oh Mick I miss you already, you were a wonderful husband and we had 35 years together. We got thru the hard times and always managed to work things out together. We had 2 wonderful kids and now 2 wonderful grandsons. I will miss so many things about you and hope things don't break because you could fix anything and I am now spoiled because of that, please be there when something goes wrong to guide me thru. I will miss your humor, your smile, your laugh, and you getting mad at Murphy. LOL You may be gone from my sight but will live in my heart forever, I will always love you and feel you will always be by my side. May you be at peace now with no pain. You were a fighter to the end and I could not believe how much pain you endured and you didn't give up. Once a Marine always a Marine I guess. Until we meet again remember, You will always be in my memories and will never be forgotten. Love you Mickers--RIP! I will miss you forever!

I send all our prayers, love and deepest regret in Mick's passing. He was a wonderful man and I am so glad we got to know him. So glad he got to know our two precious grandsons, Landon and Aiden. They gave him so much joy! We will all keep his memory alive for those boys and for each other. Jeanne, Danielle, Duane and Josh - we will all pull together closer to fill the huge gap his passing has created! All our love, Jim and Donna Van Ramshorst

Mick was a good friend of my mom and dad (Ed and Karen Burns) and our family. I remember his vast music collection and advice with car maintenance problems. I always enjoyed his visits. Always smiling and really down to earth guy. My thoughts go out to Jeanne, Duane and Danielle.
