After his discharge, he attended the
University of Michigan. In 1951, he
received his law degree from U-M
and embarked upon his career as
an attorney in Detroit.
With the rise of shopping malls
in the 1950s, Mickey soon began
specializing in real estate law,
particularly retail store leases.
He worked as an attorney for the
Winkelman's chain in Detroit and
then as assistant general counsel
of Hart, Schaffner & Marx (later
Hartmarx Corp.) in Chicago for
more than 25 years. In his work,
Mickey was known for his precision
and attention to detail — he made
sure that every "i" was dotted and
"t" was crossed in important legal
documents.
After he retired, Mickey and
Lois moved to Sarasota. They took
this opportunity to travel widely,
visiting Europe, Israel, and the
Galapagos, among other destina-
tions. Unfortunately, ill health
restricted Mickey's activities during
his final years, but he never lost his
enthusiasm or high spirits.
He will live on in the hearts and
memories of his wife, Lois; sons,
Paul and Dan; daughters-in-law,
Holly Scheider and Mikiko Sakae;
grandsons, Jasper, Adrian and
Bodie Feinberg; sister, Dorothy;
as well as many friends and col-
leagues. Mickey and Lois celebrated
their 50th wedding anniversary in
June 2008.
There will be a private memo-
rial service for family members.
Contributions in Mickey's mem-
ory may be made to the Jewish
Foundation for the Righteous or
National Parkinson Foundation.
