Mickey will live as long as some of us breath. He was a mentor, brother and friend. The finest person I ever worked with. I miss his humor and sense of duty that few have.

I have fond memories of Mr. Mann from the late 60's & early 70's when he used to hunt with my Dad, Ed Wallschlag. Along with Bob Thompson, John Gomash & Bob Venabale, they spent most of their weekends during hunting season on Miami Canal, in Three Lakes or Rotenberger. And when they weren't hunting, they were at The Track Shop building half & full track buggies. I know you are with them now and having another great hunt together.
My Sincere Condolences to the family.

Once Col. Mann asked me to take care of a very small job around the sheriff's office. I took care of it asap. The next morning after I opened the gate he was already there waiting for me. Just to say Thank you. He was a good man and will always have my respect. Rest in peace brother in arms.
