I worked for Mickey and his brother Sam at Pak-Wik. I'll remember Mickey as always hard at work, and (to me) kind of on the quiet side. Great place to work; great guys to work for. God Bless you, Mickey and do Rest in Peace.

I worked at Pak-Wik in the summer of 1973 for a very brief period but I remember very well the kindness and the laughter that were an everyday event. Sam guided a youth toward a rewarding future no matter how brief the exchange. Both Mickey and Sam would be happy to know there effort had benefits. Thank you!
