Been thinking for days about what to say since I heard the news about Mickey's passing..................All I can say is that I'm certain most of us here can only wish for the same amount of positive comments regarding the love, respect, and admiration when we pass that has been shown here on the fire.

Each day when I open this site up, I see some reference to Mickey, and I only hope that I could be the same person as he was. I never met Mickey, or talked with him, but I knew what a true Gentleman he was just by his posts...... never a discouraging word from him, instead, always a positive mood, wishing the best for his friends here.

RIP Mickey, many of us have learned a thing or two from you about being the best we can be......though it seems to be a rarity, I truly feel bad for those who did not benefit from your presence here. I'll miss you.
