Franklin Roosevelt "Mickey" Sharpe

We are so sorry about Mickey´s passing. We enjoyed getting to know him at Eddie Miles´ concert. Love and prayers for the family. Jack & Barbara Luffman

Mickey was my instructor at Forsyth Tech in 1979-80. I remember making trips to Hildebran on weekends with some of the guys to work at Sharpe Motor Lines. His ability to teach and the experience of working those weekends still serve me well with my job at Yellow to this day. He was also a lot of fun to be around and friend to all his students. My condolences to his family.

My family lived beside the Sharpes on Circle Drive in Winston Salem NC when Bicket started his business and Mickey met Jane. They were a great family and I am sad to hear of his death. Prayers for the family....Evie

I first met Mickey Sharpe at Forsyth Tech back in the late 1980´s. He was a man of great spirit and jest. He knew exactly how to captivate an audience of new soon to be diesel mechanics. He inspired me to continue my pursuit into the various paths that diesel technology had to offer. So much so was that inspiration that I received from Mickey, that I write technical manuals for major manufacturers of diesel powered equipment to this day. Mickey was a great guy and a person that made everyone...

Mickey was a absolute joy with his wit and knowledge as a Diesel Technology instructor. I have so many wonderful memories of him as he taught at School. He was a man of knowledge and experience. Mickey you will certainly be missed and you gave me a lifetime of knowledge and memory I will cherish forever, you gave me talents that most today wish they knew. I am grateful and will always be thankful I knew Mickey Sharpe. He will always be my favorite mechanic of all time. God bless you Mickey...

Mickey was quick with a smile and a dry wit of humor. I enjoyed working with him at Hennis Freight lines and Billings Garage.My condolences to his lovely wife Jean and the the Family. I am there with you in sprit. My Prayers to all that grieve his passing.Rest In Peace my friend.

So sorry to hear of Mickey's passing . We will always remember his sense of humor and his funny stories. Our thoughts and prayers are with Jean and his family. May God bless you all
