Mick was my godfather I knew him for 40yrs, my whole life. Growing up with him not only like a father figure but also an amazing kind hearted neighbor. My parents Chuck and Kay Nelson just adored the time they had with Mick and Cindy. I will always remember the times I needed advice and he was so caring and encouraging towards me, when my mom had her bad accident in 2000 not only did I have my dad Chuck but I also had Mick teaching me how to drive. I will always cherish every moment I had with him. And I personally want to say thank you Mick for being there for my mom when my dad passed. You're not only a neighbor, you're a father figure, you're brother figure, you mean a lot to us.
