He will be sorely missed by all his family and friends! Happy we have some treasured memories of Mick & he is dear to us. Our sympathies to Mick’s family, his children, grandchildren & his loving sisters.
Condolences to Mick’s family and loved ones. Mick was one of our favorite people when we were pledge brothers at the ATO house at UW during the early 60’s. There were many fond memories during that time and Mick contributed to a lot of them. We lost touch several years ago but Leah and I still think of him often. What a great guy!
Milk was a good neighbor for more than 40 years. He was always ready with a smile and friendly comment. We will miss him.
Mick and I met in the 1960s, and stayed in contact ever since. He was a good man, a loving father, a doting grandfather, and a dear friend. He will be sorely missed.
God bless you, my friend.

I knew Mike from his UNOCAL days. Mike was one of the managers who interviewed me. Later I was assigned to a territory in Oregon and Mike left the company shortly afterwards to become a service station dealer . I was later transferred back up to the Seattle area and got reengage with Mike as a retail rep. I found Mike to be one of our better dealers and a quality person who I enjoyed working with and a class act.
