My uncle Micky was and always will be a positive motivating figure in my life. All the memories I have from him remain fresh in mind to this day. Like when Todd, Zach and I would be playing outside, hed come outside and challenge us to a race...wearing his moccasins he always thought hed be able to beat Todd. He never did beat him but he always tried his best.
His love and laughter will always be with me and my family.

Grandpa Micky..."Pa"

Been meaning to add this for a while... some things just take a little more time...
For Dad, who was very much ‘in the arena'
29 Mar 2012
It is hard to hear the name Micky or Mr. Bubbles and not have a smile on your face. Dad always referred to others he thought to be ‘a character'…It was one of ‘his' words. In fact, there was no greater character than Dad. He lived life large…dancing as if no one was watching every day. My cousin, Jordan, recently captured a video of Dad dancing just this past summer (2011) at a Milwaukee Summerfest concert – I can't thank you enough for sharing that Jordan. It is classic Micky… a character indeed…who re-invented himself on life's stage many times: U.S. Marine, automobile salesman, businessman, son, brother, husband, father, uncle, grandfather. And as we all know, it was his role as grandfather that earned him life's Oscar. He was an awesome Grandfather. No one could mess with a grandchild the way Grandpa Micky did.
My father, as many of you know, was a United States Marine. As a Marine, my father would advise me not to tear up today. As an Airman, I know there are hard days ….and that our eyes CAN sweat on such days. So, give me a break Dad…today is a hard day.
Twenty-two years ago a journey began with a hug from my father and one of his infamous jive handshakes… and his advice about wagons and blind mules. He was very excited for me, and, as always, very proud. But, he also got very serious and gave me some advice. He said, “Son, just remember, if you're there, be there.”
These were serious words from Micky – his way of telling me to live life to the fullest – to ‘be' in the moment – and put my heart in everything I did…. It was great advice.
Over the years, I called Dad regularly, often from unusual countries and at outrageous times. He never complained. He never asked me to call back. He never let me apologize for calling so early…or so late. I called to let him know I was ok. As a father myself, today I understand how important that phone call was to him.
One of the things Dad liked to do whenever I visited him... my entire life … was to meet me in person at the airport and to say, “Welcome to my city”. He did this each summer in Phoenix when I was a kid; he did it each time I visited Milwaukee; I greeted him the same way when he visited me in Cheyenne, London, Colorado Springs and Seattle.
Another thing we always did...was shoot a game of pool. In my entire life, I never, ever beat Dad at pool... and it never mattered where we were when we played.
I know … the next time I see Dad, he will be the first to welcome me to his new city...and we will shoot pool again. Blue Skies, Dad. …Whatever be, may be.

Sixty years ago we were playing football in the alley behind our duplex on Roosevelt Drive and
he was the fastest thing on two feet. I am sincerely sorry for his passing and he will forever be remembered.
