I had the privilege to play golf with Mickey at Eagle Hill golf club.  I always enjoyed his company and wish I had taken the opportunity to know him better than just the golf course. Mickey cut quite the figure on the course with an unlit cigar in his mouth and a powerful swing. He talked to me sometimes about his engineering career. When I saw him last I did not know he was ill. It was at Down Home cafe  and I wish at that time I could have been more supportive. . I have good memories of a good man. 

Dear Patsy and family, 
I played golf over the years with Mickey more than a few times in the Eagle Hill scrambles on Thursdays. I always enjoyed his company, cigar in mouth, swinging from the heels demeanor. Mick as he was to me  was a distinctive character.  As we say many times I wish we had spent more time together since he had that unique straight shooter personality that was endearing  to me. In all candor I did not know he was ill and that is troubling to me since I saw him in Down Home I believe in early June or very late May when he came over to my table to say hello. It was a brief moment and he looked different to me as I had been in Florida for several months and had not encountered too many folks in the neighborhood.  I would have loved to have been supportive in any way I could. Anyway, I will miss him. I thought of him as a good  man and a good friend who will always be in my thoughts. 

I too met Mickey playing golf at Regatta Bay in Destin about 8 years ago. They paired Mickey with Tom Bly and me. Tom, Mickey, and I quickly became great friends, and the 3 of us played a lot of golf together the last 8 years. Mickey was funny, generous, and we enjoyed his stories. He always brought Tom and me Moon Pies, which made us laugh. Fortunately for Tom & me, we met Mickey for breakfast at Regatta the day before Mickey was to return home. Mickey was his old jovial and funny self. We said our good byes and that was the last time we saw him. Tom and I are thankful for that last meeting. Mickey was a wonderful person, and we will miss him greatly this winter in Regatta. God bless Mickey, and God bless Patsy and the family.

Sorry to learn about Mickey's passing.  I went to 12 yrs. with him in grade school. We were born in the same hospital in West Plains. When we were younger, I spent the night at his house and he had a pet bull that we would ride around the barn. Will miss him. 

I am so sorry.  Please know that my prayers and love are with you all. 

I am so sorry, so sad about Mickey's passing.  We are cousins and spent many days at Grandma Cora's for holidays and birthdays.  I miss those days so much.  Patsy, Janie, and kids, please know you all are in our thoughts and prayers.  
Love to all of you,
Susan and Paul Light

Mickey was my life long friend.  We met in the sixth grade and had a lot in common with each other.  We both lived on farms near Mountain View, Missouri.  We milked a lot of cows, which was often a topic of our conversations.  We were friends in grade school, high school, and we were roommates in college.  After college, we stayed in touch and visited each other every year.  We talked frequently on the phone.  Later in life we played golf.  He was a fierce competitor on the golf course and in every day life and it shows in the success of his life and business.  He was a good man, husband, father and grandfather.  He was a generous man.  He was like a brother to me and I will miss him very much!

I met Mickey 6to 7 years ago at Regatta Bay golf club in Destin Fl. We were paired as single players. Mickey would become a member there and at his encouragement I would as well.  I could say at a minimum that we played 40-50 rounds of golf together over the past several years.  When you spend 4-5 hours with someone on a regular basis, safe to say you like them. Mickey was my friend and I loved him dearly.  God bless Patsy and the family. 😇

Will miss Mickey's smile and friendship .... when growing up, Mickey was there to offer support and to say ... everything will be OK. 
He was a FUN and caring person ... will miss seeing you at the reunions .....

Pop Embrey's son ..... Michael
