To the Martin Family I extend my deepest sympathy. Mickey was an active member of the Argo Higher Education Foundation and was always there to support Argo High School. I worked with him on the committee for 25 years and he was always there to support the seniors further their education. Mickey worked hard his whole life and knew first hand the struggles to succeed. He wanted to help others and was proud, as he should be, when the scholarships were awarded. He helped give lots of seniors a chance to succeed. I will miss Mickey as he always had a smile on his face and great company to be with. I loved his jokes and funny stories.
I hope the Martin Family sorrow is soften by the warm memories of Mickey.
