Happy Birthday Mick!

I will miss you!!

I have many fond and funny memories of Michael "Mickey" from high school. To his family, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

I met Michael through Rikki back in the early mid 1990's, while employed at Marino's Restaurant. She had recently moved back to MI from Housten, TX, and still had quite a heavy southerner's accent. Upon introduction, she spoke of her Boyfriend (Michael), her daughter's (Richelle and April), and also noted that she originated from this area.

Fantastic smile, professional disposition, and rapidly quick humor....are some of my first thoughts as she served me my after shift...

Mick

I heard the news today. We had some good times and I will never forget you. I wish I could be there to say goodbye! You took me to prom, we went fishing together at your dad's lake, you took me to the hospital when I fell down the stairs and broke my finger, we went skiing together at Bittersweet, listening to the classic rock radio station. You took me to my first football game at the Lion's stadium to watch your brother play. It has been 18 years and it seems like only...

Mickey was such a talented, fun-loving and crazy guy back in high school and, by the sounds of the other entries here, it seems like he had held on to all those wonderful qualities. While I hadn't seen him in over 20 years, I know I'm just one of many friends who will treasure memories of those days back in Marcellus. To his family and friends, I hope your own special memories help bring you comfort while you cope with this terrible loss.

"Mickey" was like a brother to me in High School. There are alot of memories; we were involved in Band, All-Star Band and spent many hours talking about our families. He even trusted me enough in H.S. to cut his hair! He was awesome playing the sax...gifted. I am blessed to have had him as a trusted friend thoughout H.S.
Richelle and family - I am sorry to hear of the news, however praying you will be at peace, and that Mickey is as well.

Mike was a great friend of mine. I was at his and Rikkis wedding, we went to many concerts together, went to many unforgettable parties together, went downhill skiing together a few times. I worked with Mike at Guilford of Maine for about 3 yrs.Even though we werent as close in the past couple yrs as before, i will never forget him and the great friendship we shared.R.I.P. Brother.

I worked with Mike and his wife Rikki at Centennial Country Club and he always made me laugh. He was always upbeat, positive and had a big grin on his face. He will be missed here on earth but is in a better place now.

My thoughts and prayers are with Rikki and Mike's families during this difficult time!

Rikki:
