Mick made the move to Nevada a lot easier for the whole family and was truly a friend. I definately enjoyed all of the ISU posters that he gave the kids year after year, even after we moved to Jefferson he made sure that we had plenty to cover the walls. Life without Mick in it will never be the same...I am sad to realize I can never say "hey Mick Meneough, what do ya' know?" He just filled the room with kindness and sincerity...thank you for sharing him...
