He then worked in the electrical field for 25 years, ending his career as an Electrical Construction Manager and retiring in 2009. 

Mickey loved his children, Clemson Tigers football, and Atlanta Braves baseball. He enjoyed golfing, fishing, watching old classic movies, drinking cold beer, and eating hot dogs and good ol' Southern cooking. He was known for being a gentle, mannerly Southern man.
