Mick will always be my big brother. Growing up with him in my childhood was the best years of my life. He would come to Alpena in the summer and we would go to the Narrows swimming and after we would enjoy pickle bologna and crackers then go to the drive-in theater with my dad, Uncle Virgil. Mick will be miss dearly by his family in Alpena. Go Blue and spread those wings.

A true friend's memory lives on in our heart forever. GO BLUE!

What a legacy he has left with his wonderful life and extended family. I only met him a few times but enjoyed every moment. He introduced me to Basil Hadin Rye, Caribbean style and I´ll never forget that first taste. If I ever find that bottle in a liquor store, my first toast will be to Marlena´s dad.

Bruce and Cathie Avis loved him dearly. Such a wonderful person with such a great heart. When we would visit he always told us many stories that made us laugh and giggle. He loved his pierogi and sauerkraut. He was loved by many and will be missed by all of us...

When Mick´s daughter Marlena would visit us in Dayton, Ohio, I would send a treat home to him. He loved a confetti angel food cake and always made sure the Tupperware cake carrier made it into her car so it could be refilled and go back to Michigan with her with another cake in it. Rest in peace Mr P.

When I met Mick at Shelbys birthday a couple years ago. He was so sweet and hilarious I laughed at him and Shelby the whole time. God bless you Pankowski´s we love you!!
