I met Micky, that's what everyone called him at the fire department. I worked at shandon station 9.
He was an engineer and a good one. He always made me laugh. I remember he loved fishing. He took me on a trip with his friend Vernon. I was the 3rd wheel. Not the best fisherman. But it was a fun trip being with Samuel. God Bless his family.

My thoughts and prayers to Mickey and his family. I worked with him at Shannon station in the early 80s...good man. I even remember he invited me fishing and I had such a good time he shared with me...his love of fishing and nature.
