Mickey as we knew him, was a great friend of mine. One of the most generous people you'd ever encounter. I remember he'd always make pasta for me every time I'd visit and just overall was a pleasure to know and be around. I heard from a mutual friend about what happened and found his obituary. May he rest in peace. Thank you for being my friend Mick. -Steve
