AFTER NEW YORK, MICKEY FOLLOWED HIS MOTHER AND FATHER TO MIAMI WHERE HE OPENED HIS STORE IN THE FAMOUS DESIGN DISTRICT. MICKEY WAS SO PROUD OF THIS BUSINESS AS HE ALWAYS RECALLED HIS OPPORTUNITIES WITH SINGER FRANK SINATRA, FOUNTAINBLU HOTEL, AND MANY TRIPS TO THE BAHAMAS.

MICKEY NEVER STAYED STILL AND ALWAYS STROVE TO PROVIDE FOR HIS FAMILY. ONE DAY HE HAD THE IDEA TO OPEN A PIZZA FRANCHISE IN LONDON, ENGLAND AND PROVIDE PRE-MADE PIZZA TO FISH AND CHIP SHOPS.

WHEN MOST PEOPLE ARE ABOUT TO RETIRE IN THEIR SIXTIES, MICKEY CREATED "GO INTERNATIONAL" AND FILLED SEVEN PASSPORTS DELIVERING KEY MATERIALS TO OIL FIELDS ALL OVER SOUTH AND CENTRAL AMERICA. BY FAR HIS FAVORITE OPPORTUNITY, MICKEY'S STORIES WERE ALWAYS CAPTIVATING.

MICKEY HAD A PASSION FOR HUNTING, FISHING, COIN COLLECTING, DANCING , AND CONSTRUCTING THINGS WITH HIS HANDS. MICKEY EVEN BUILT A 14 FEET WOODEN SAILBOAT WHERE HE TAUGHT HIS GRANDSONS HOW TO SAIL AND MAINTAIN THE BOAT. HE WAS ALWAYS THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX AND USED HIS AVAILABLE TOOLS TO SOLVE ANY PROBLEMS.
