Mick Gosson, born September 4, 1900, departed from this world on August 1, 2023. An indomitable spirit, Mick's dynamic nature left an indelible mark on all who knew him.

His life was filled with small, but meaningful milestones. On June 25, 1908, a proud moment was marked when he graduated from elementary school. His spiritual journey led him to be an attendee of The Church of God, a non-denominational congregation where he found solace and a sense of community.

Mick was also a devoted volunteer at the BPO Elks, an organization that benefited profoundly from his contributions. He was known to enjoy a wide array of delicacies, particularly those served on a bamboo board. He would often indulge in his favorite drink, a simple but soothing Jack and Coke.

His tastes were diverse and unique in entertainment and hobbies. He was an ardent fan of the ethereal and mesmerizing music of "Illusive Butterfly". One could often find him eagerly watching his favorite TV show "Laramie", or passionately cheering for his favored sports team, the New England Patriots. Vacationing in Ireland was one of his beloved pastimes, a place he considered a home away from home.

Mick was undeniably brash in personality, a trait that often evoked strong reactions from others. Yet, he left a piece of wisdom for those he left behind, cautioning others, "Don't follow in my footsteps." Despite his tough exterior, one of his proudest accomplishments was having met someone named Kate, a testament to his softer side.

As Mick would put it, he leaves behind 'nothing' as his legacy. A testament to his candid nature, this statement underlines a life lived with authenticity and irreverence. Regardless of his own beliefs, Mick's memory will undoubtedly thread through the lives of those he encountered, anchoring in their hearts like a steadfast ship. This is Mick Gosson's legacy - a man who lived life on his own terms.
