He is survived by his loving wife, Elly; children, Robert David, Ronald Conelius (Casey) and April Michele; brothers, Paul Joseph and James Leone; sisters, Patricia Ann and Bonnie Jean; six grandchildren; and eight great grandchildren.
As the immediate family grieves and mourns, we understand the desire of friends and family to come together and mourn Mick's passing, however, due to the current pandemic and social restrictions, we feel that for the benefit of public health and safety, memorial services should be held at a later date to be announced. We have already lost Mick. We do not wish to lose anyone else. Be safe and take care of each other.
