RIP Mick N.
You were a wonderful man, an inspiration to many, always so polite and welcoming. Such a man.
We lost a good one.
Let that be ANOTHER reason to check people out and ask them if they are okay. It is imperative that we speak.
I love Kirk and the rest of the family, such sad news– Mark Wright (@MarkWright_) January 21, 2021
