(Daily scripture on the day Mickey passed.)

Known for his wild, freewheeling spirit, he never met a stranger and spent his later years sharing daily scriptures with nearly 100 friends and family members. All his children and grandchildren meant the world to him, and he was especially looking forward to the birth of his new granddaughter, Amelia Claire French due in August 2025. Mickey commented shortly before his death that he was sure going to miss his little dog, Lacie.
