Our family grew up on Pawnee St & Mickey & Louise also lived on the same block. Our whole block of kids gathered daily to hang out together & over the later years I saw Mickey at various parties. We loved going to Tulios house as we gathered our gang Because Mrs Tulio would always ask if we wanted to have one of the baked goods she made that day.
He was such a fun guy!
We frequented Machs Gute when he owned it & Frank Brensinger ( my brother-in-law) moved his dart team to his bar. We loved Mickey & will always remain a part of our lives & memories.

Dear Sarah and Family,
I just became aware of Mike's passing and am writing to express my sympathy for your loss. Mike was a long-time city employee as was I, and very dedicated to serving the residents of Bethlehem. I had much respect for his service to our City.
I trust many fond memories will help sustain you at this sad time and wish you peace.
