A sad loss of a wonderful man.
You will be missed, Mickey! Thank you for all that you did!
So sorry to hear this. Mickey was a wonderful person and a tremendous asset to the museum.
Since returning to Michigan and becoming involved again with the museum board, I found Mickey to be a stalwart supporter of the museum’s mission, an excellent source of ideas and a boon companion in providing tours and good times for visitors. He set a great example in friendliness, thoughtful input and diligence, and those exceptional qualities will be deeply missed. My heart goes out to his friends and family.
Oh my deepest sympathy to the family of a great individual. My heart is very heavy today.

Sorry for your loss
Mickey’s generosity in sharing his time, resources, knowledge of magic, and leadership skills added greatly to the American Museum of Magic’s goals and mission. I enjoyed working with him on the board of directors and know his voice and presence will be deeply missed. Sympathy and prayers are sent for his family and many friends.
Mickey was a good guy and worked hard for AMM. He will be missed.
So sad to hear this news. I will always remember fondly my time at the museum and grateful to have learned so much from Mickey.
You all help a dark few days more bearable. He was a lifelong friend of ours. Our hearts are broken. His honorary niece asked when she need to come home. I told her the family is deciding when. He was the best man at our wedding. He was a giver. I can not even tell all of you how dark this world became on March 19,2025. Continue to hold his family up in prayers. Thank you for posting this. It’s been a very sad 3 days in our household.
