Sad to hear of Mickey's passing.
One of my first memories of Mickey was when I was 7 years old my parents took us kids on a summer vacation from Seattle Washington to Meadville Pennsylvania.
Mom and Dad we're going to go visit some other family and we were staying at Kitelinger's house. Bill and I had got the mumps so we had to stay home and Mickey came down to the tent trailer and carried me and brought Bill up to Minnie's kitchen, helped us get some hot chocolate to help us feel better. He was a very kind person, he will be missed by all.
Love & Prayers to the entire Thornton Family
Sincerely, Marta McFarland
(Paul and Pauline's daughter)
