In 1978 he immigrated to America and settled in Groveton, Texas, where he established his own business as an air conditioning and appliance repairman.

Mick leaves a cadre of friends and a devoted family that had the joy of knowing a loving, kind, generous and loyal man. He was a musician, and a lover of good food and good company. Noted for his infectious laughter, his 100-watt smile, his irrepressible sense of humor, his bushy mustache and his love of fishing and storytelling, he will be missed and remembered by hundreds of people he befriended or helped in times of need.
