To say we go way back would be an understatement. From our toilet papering shenanigans and you playing Bryan Adams for me on the piano to watching you play at the fair in Washington. You are going to be so missed! Until we meet again my friend!

I knew him as Mickey as a youngster in Libby. Hope the family can find some peace. I still remember Mickey's mom Teri. Quite a comedian! My thoughts and prayers go out to you.

My heart hurts for your family. Sending love always.
I also wanted to share a funny memory with Mick. Years ago, when he was working at the Coldwater Creek wine bar in downtown Sandpoint, I was a regular customer at lunch time and he was a friendly face that made my day! One day he showed me a flyer announcing that Mick Coon was singing there on the weekend. I said, "I know him!" And he grinned and laughed, thinking I was teasing him, I am sure. He asked, "Really?", and I said, "Well, I actually know his mom." He looked surprised and said, "You know my mom?!" I was embarrassed and asked, "Wait, is this YOU!?" We laughed hard and I felt silly.
