Mickey had a special bond with his only grandchild, Rashala. He was a faithful Detroit Lions fan and was proud to be a season ticket holder. Mickey loved watching Joyce Meyers Ministries and had quite a large collection of tapes and CD’s. He was a giver and a supporter of many charities. Mickey enjoyed bowling and he loved listening to old school music. He liked cooking and was quite good at it, but he loved him some Kentucky Fried Chicken. Mickey was fun to be around and was quite the joker, he was the life of the party and was always quoting his favorite comedians and making you laugh. He will truly be missed. Mr. Mickey L.
