I volunteered in your office one day. Despite how busy the day was, you took a phone call. You were so compassionate, patient, and your whole focus was that phone call. The atmosphere in the office changed from hectic to all your attention was that one person. You meant the world to that person on the phone. Your work with Vicki's angel foundation is outstanding because of you. I respect you and all your work. May you have a wonderful birthday! GOD bless.

Since 2006, Mickey, I have regarded you as the "Archangel" here on earth - nothing has changed! You are an amazing and compassionate man and we admire you greatly! You have helped thousands of people not only with your empathy and heart of gold, but with your gifts of support, positivity, encouragement, and strong belief in Faith, Hope and Love. You have created yet another incredible legacy in VAF! May this birthday be your best one so far, and may you be blessed as much as you have blessed others with your "Beacon of Hope."

Mickey is the MAN! He shares his entire heart for Vickie's Angel Foundation. He has been such a pillar of the community and has helped so many families with the financial struggles that cancer can bring. It has been my pleasure to assist him with Vickie's Angel Ride over the last 2 years and hopefully many more!! Happy Birthday Brother!

I'm Mickey's cousin. He is my Mother's sisters son. He was older than the rest of us having 12 years on me. Growing up, we all looked up to him as he was always an inspiration and did his best at everything he was involved in. Happy Birthday Mickey and thank you for being the person you are.

I met Micky at a Vicky's Angel Foundation dance. I believe in the mission of VAF and only through Mickey's passion for the mission he created.

YOU are incredible.

You ALWAYS are so encouraging. I was so proud to run the 2016 Boston Marathon knowing all the love, support and money I was able to "recruit", raising over $10k for VA. Many learned about VA for the first time. Keep up the amazing work! Your Legacy (and Vickie's) will live on forever!

Happy birthday Mick! I have known you since you taught at Edison and John Harris, when I was a student. Then your years as coach at John Harris which helped us to be the #1 Football in the State! 1968 - Go Pioneers! Then your brother married my sister, so our friendship continued. I hope I have half of your energy and dedication to Vickie's Angel Walk. When I turn 86, I will think of you and our acquaintance through time. Happy Happy Birthday!

I began the New Cumberland TNR Program in the borough several years back. Mickey was SO supportive of my efforts! He allowed me the use of his office machines until I could get some, provided mentorship, encouragement and to this day, checks in to see how it's going. He is an absolute pillar of our community.
Sandy Kraybill
Gary and I have gotten to know Mickey through the Vickie’s Angel Walk but have been blessed to know him on a personal level through Trinity Church. He is a wonderful man, kind and loving to anyone that crosses his path. He is a gift to this world and we are so thankful to have him in our lives. A sweet birthday to an amazing Christian friend. God bless you..

Happy birthday, Coach!
My parents loved the fact that your family lived in our neighborhood. They especially loved it when you would bring your boys by for a visit. And let’s not forget those Thanksgiving game Eve parties at our house.

Mickey has become a dear family friend. We have shared so many moments, from working side-by-side in the Angel Garden, to tossing Corn Hole bags, to sharing meals, worship services, Angel Walks, dances, and more. Mickey has shown such strength (he's no baby!), kindness, humility, fun... he is a great example of "walking in the footsteps of Jesus." We love you Mickey and wish you the happiest of birthdays.
Barb and Ralph Hawk
I met Mickey about a year and a half ago during my cancer treatment journey. Not only was he a blessing to me financially, he became a dear friend and unwavering supporter of my needs and goals. I thought the relationship would be simply an assistance in time of need connection. It became much more than that. I have had the pleasure of meeting one of the kindest, most genuine, and selfless human beings on the planet. God Bless you Mickey and Happy birthday!!! God willing we will have you for many, many more!!
