Mickey V. Aliff
Mickey V. Aliff, 61, of Little Elm Texas, passed away on Oct. 29 2008, following a long illness. Born July 28, 1947 at Odd, Wva, he was the son of the late John Earl Aliff and Sanie Justice.
He is survived by his loving wife Vicki Aliff of Little Elm, Texas, 7 children Mickey V. Aliff Jr., Madeline Aliff, Michelle McBride, Anna Miller, Vanessa Hayes, Debra Aliff and Vicki Halsey; and four siblings, John Aliff, Riley Aliff, Sharon Lockhart and Dale Flecter, 11 grandchildren; Dylan and Tyler Aliff, Amber Berumen, Aubrey McBride, Isabella Miller, Gregory And Tiffany Cox, Chelsea Aliff, Jeremy and Santana Halsey, and JC Witt.
He was preceded in death by a sister Shelbby Aliff.
Mickey was a loving father and a doting husband to his wife Vicki. They traveled the United States together for 15 years eventually settling in Texas where they began. His children will remember his unending love and support. The grandchildren could do no wrong in Mickey's eyes and every accomplishment was an occasion for celebration.
Mickey grew up in Odd, Wva and joined the Army at the age of 17. He was wounded twice in Vietnam. After leaving the service he entereed the field of tunneling where he earned a great deal of respect and admiration. Mickey was one of those rare human being that seldom met a person he didn't like and vice versa. For a man who spent his working life underground it is ironic, but true, tha t Mickey was pure sunshine. His love for his family gave him that self confidence and a recognizable glow. Mickey looked at every situation as an opportunity and the glass was always at least half full. There was always a sparkle in his eyes and a smile on his face.
God gave Mickey a special gift of inspiration. the foundation of that gift was his unending respect for the working person, in the underground mining and construction world few could match Mickey's professional expertise and experience from coast to coast. But his famous attribute was to shake the hands of every miner at the end of their shifts and thank them for a safe and hard day's work. Mickey was dedicated to his crews and they returned that dedication. He was a true believer in the inherent goodness of every person he came in contact with. Few disappointed him, because his inspirational qualities brought out the best in all of us. He will be deeply missed.
Funeral services will be held at 1 p.m. on Monday at the Calloway Heights Baptist Church with Rev. Jeff Canterbury officiating. Burial will follow at Sunset Memorial Park.
Visitation will be held tonight from 6 to 8 p.m. at Rose and Quesenberry Funeral Home, Beckley.
Pallbearers will be Ron Meyers, Dave Raich, Boodie Hurd, Mike Revis, Rich Mascarello and Larry Prince.
