On July 9,2019 I personally lost my best and closest friend. I have a emptiness in my heart that will stay with me forever. Micky was a inspiration to me and I" will never forget him. Micky was more of a brother to me than a friend.
I know Micky is looking down on us. Nothing will keep him down. You are in my thoughts an prayers.
Michael rest in peace
