My deepest condolences to Debbie and the rest of Mickey's family, our dear cousins. I have wonderful memories of dancing with Mickey at all the local dances or parties in El Paso as teens. He was witty, always joking and funny as can be. Just a fun person to be around. We will miss you, Mike, but at least you are free of any illnesses and I am sure you are having a beer with Jr. (my brother), my Dad, my tios and tias! Enjoy because you were a good man on earth and deserve it.

Condolences to the family of our dear "Mickey-Boy" as I remember my Uncle Angel calling him. He was very close with us and my two brothers, Johnny & Alex, JR (now deceased as well due to VN.) What lovely memories we have of visiting our "abuelita's"/grandmother's house every Sunday and drinking soup. Those were the days, my friends! Love to all--see you soon. Your cousins, Melinda & Gary Olson, Garland, TX

Mike and I were the closest of cousins all our lives! He was like a brother to us!! We were 4 days apart on birth dates. We went to many high school games and dances. As adults, we remained close and stayed in touch. I will miss my brother in arms! Go Army, Mike. Watch over me, brother!!!

Dearest "Mickey=Boy," we will miss you dearly!! Sorry that Vietnam /Agent Orange also got ahold of you, like my brother, Alex, and Gary. Say "hello," to Alex for us all. Hope he is doing OK. At least he's not in pain anymore as you are free also. We love you. See you again later--
