So thankful for our visits together when we would be in town. Uncle Mick was kind & made us feel so welcomed. My Mom, Doris Costa, was his sister in law. She enjoyed his visits as well. Good company, always food and laughter. Wonderful memories over the years, so thankful for him.

Uncle Mick was one of my favorite people and I will miss him dearly. He was my dad's brother and I feel so blessed to have known him and his sister, Aunt Vi. Uncle Mick was an extremely intelligent man, with a very generous and fun-loving spirit. Even as a young girl, I enjoyed his wit and kindness. Now, as an older adult, I appreciate the loving legacy he has left behind for those of us who have been fortunate enough to have known him. Thank you, Uncle Mick, and may you reap the reward you so richly deserve by reuniting with my dad and all your loved ones in the heavenly hereafter. I love you and miss you.
