Micky, as kids i was a bit younger than you and really didn't pay much attention to what was going on when you all were around. I am very fortunate to have reconnected with you on the Mt. Washington post getting to experience your quick wit and humor and take a walk with you back to a time when we had no cares and grew up in the best place ever. I am shocked and saddened at your passing and my heart goes out to your family.I'm so grateful for the few weeks I got to share with you on the G U MT WASH page. You were truly delightful and a gentleman. When you passed, Heaven witnessed the brightest star ever streak towards your new home , your Mother was at the gates waiting to bring you into her arms and show you the wonders awaiting you. I will miss you Mick even though I only had the privilege of knowing you so short a time.As much as everyone here on Earth will miss you, the Heavens celebrate your arrival , especially your Mom. God keep you close to him....we all miss you..R I P Mick

He lives on in our hearts, where he's always been. In any situation, I'm gonna be thinking of what Micky's reaction would be, so I don't forget to laugh! Many prayers for all of us left behind!

Mickey Lee each time I wrote to you with your name spelled wrong you quickly responded 'you insist on renaming me."
Even though I havent seen you in 35 years it was so nice to exchange silly emails and jokes with you. I will never forget sitting on your lap at the Civic Arena (1970) while we watched Jim Morrison perform with his eyes closed and lights on...you will forever live on. My deepest sympathy goes to his children , wife and all those who knew Mick. He will be surely missed.

I had a reconnect with Mick not too long ago and we did a bit of catch-up from back in the day on The Mount. When I read of his passing I had a lot of memories of Mick and those coming-of-age years. You did well, Mick. I send my condolences to Mick's family and friends. Rest in peace.
