Strickland Family - I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I used to live just down the street from the Strickland's and went to school with Dennis. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time...

We have known Mickey for many, many years, He was a great guy and and quite a character, in the best sense of the word. We recently had a get together, after repairing a boat and a Corvette, (In Gloucester) it was great fun talking about "The Old Days".Our thoughts go out to the family.

Sorry to hear of Mickey's passing. I will be keeping you and your family in my thoughts. ~Your old friend...

The world has lost a real genuine man. He was a great cousin and friend, and if he judged people he kept it to himself. I am very happy that Mickey found the love of his life, Brenda, before his life ended. I will truly miss him!

I worked with Mickey many years ago at Hutchens Chevrolet, He was a great guy and great technician. Between him and Pete at the shop we had many great times.He taught me so much about the trade. He will be missed. I did see him in the past few years a number of times It was like old times. Good luck to the family !!!!!!!

I am so sorry to hear about Mickey's passing. I have known the family for many years. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I worked and raced and played with Mickey for many years. A better friend you could not have. He taught me the fine art of auto repare. I never saw a a better auto tech in my many years doing the same job. I am sure he will be missed. Best luck to his brothers. Peter C Drake
