Mick and Sharon have been my neighbors for over five years here in Florida. Both have been very friendly and we shared alot of stories and histories along with some wine. They included me in their parties which were always fun. It was reassuring to know that I had such good neighbors. Mick was always generous and they took me out for wine and cigars at Garvinos, a place I had wanted to go for a long time. Rest in peace, dear man.
Sharon, Cary & Jeff...I have lots of memories of Mick ..but a few stand our, such as when he was working in Decatur, we were also there for a few years...he was working for candy company & would stop by our house to visit & bring boxes of candy for our children...they LOVED seeing him pull into driveway...also my husband recalls a time when everyone was in Peoria still, they went pheasant hunting, quite a group, maybe 6 or 7 guys. They spotted a pheasant, everyone shot & missed, but Mick stood up & got it, spot on. My husband asked where he learned to shoot like that & he said, "in the Army"! Havent seen Mick for number of years, but we have been kept informed by my brother, Rich, of all his comings & goings & how much they loved spending time together, golfing & having lunches. We are so sorry for your loss & hope the pleasant memories of old friends & your own warm memories bring you comfort in this sad time. Thoughts & prayers are with all of you.
Carole (Stickelmaier) & Pat McKee
