To the entire Hohnerlein family- Mr. Mickey was truly a wonderful man!!! Every time he came to work at Heard, he always had a smile and a kind word to everyone he saw.

I will never forget Mickey Hohnerlein! During my three years at Heard Academy he was the most dedicated volunteer and the sweetest dad, husband, and friend I believe I have ever met. I share with you a deep sense of grief at his passing but I also share many beautiful memories of Mickey, a man loved by so many! There is no doubt that he set an example that will ripple forward into eternity. May we all become a part of that ripple and extend its effects exponentially in his honor.
