Mickey Peinado

May 25, 1942 - June 25, 2024

Our friend and classmate, and President of the SPHS Art Club, has passed away. Mickey and I were good friends from our Junior High School days, but lost connection as the years passed. In 2022, I encouraged Mickey to attend our SPHS 62-year reunion. He was a 'tough crowd' to be sure, but eventually I 'wore him down' and he attended the reunion. His physical condition, like a few others who bravely made it, was not good, but Mickey was determined to meet up with classmates from all those years ago. Mickey told me a few days later how glad he was to have been there and thanked me for encouraging him to attend. Mickey had a great sense of humor, I learned through our 2022 phone chats. I'll miss my old friend.
