I had the wonderful pleasure working with Mickey at Tucson Gas & Electric. The things I learned from his as a punk kid were invaluable & helped me grow into a man. RIP Mickey, love that you're still in the pits helping youngsters thrive!!

Mickey was a good friend and teacher. Taught me alot about engines and the sport of racing, even though I am a ford guy. He will be missed but never forgotten.

Mickey was my friend in Flowing Wells school back in the early 50's and many years later. We were the first 9th grade class, long before there was a high school.
Mickey brought light to everyone, and the teachers sometimes had to shade their eyes. He certainly tested them, but always brought a smile.
May you be comforted by the thought that your father, g/f, etc. was a great friend when he was young.
