Mickey was a wonderful person, will never forget the day he convinced me that i "deserved" my dream refrigerator, after the guys made 2 trips to our house with the frig, and my husband had to remove doors, trim & cap over a light switch to fit it inside, Mickey laughed and said, "well girl, you ain't never done me wrong before, but if you never make a payment on it im pretty sure it would be more work than it would be worth to get it back outa there". That was several years ago, the frig got paid off, but we still chuckled about it... his sense of humor and trust was what kept me going back over and over. He was a true gentleman, and a man of honor. They just dont make em like that anymore!!! I will miss you Mickey!

Our hearts are saddened at Mickeys passing. We pray that God places you all in the palm of his hand and gives you the peace of knowing that he is with his God.

Our family was very blessed by Mickey, Marilyn and their entire family. My grandmother Blanche Kane worked for M & B for 35 years. Mic refered to my grandmother as the "little general." No doubts he is going to met by her with a "to do" list in heaven. Our thoughts, prayers and love go out to Mic's family, friends, customers and the entire community.
