Of Jerseyside (formerly of Pond Head, Argentia), passed peacefully away at the Placentia Health Centre on February 12, 2013 at 8:05 a.m. “Tar Mick” as he was affectionately called was a proud husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and brother. An icon in the community in that people often said that they could set their clocks by him. He would drive around from sun up to sun down whether he needed to or not. He could drive with the best of them, would push er’ through and be always found trying to fix up any vehicle that needed fixing. He was the next best thing to buy and sell that you could f ind and if you wanted to go some where on the spur of the moment Mick was your man. He got out of many a snarl and to mention his name to someone usually gave you a story of something that happened along one road or another. Predeceased by his parents: Ellen and Thomas Power; brothers: Lar, Ned, Frank; sister Theresa and baby daughter Rita. Leaving to mourn are his loving wife of 61 years Clarissa (Nee Doody); daughters: Stella ( Stan), Pauline ( Don), Ellen (Derm); sons: Jerome (Debbie), Joe (Laura), Tom (Anna), Lester (Valerie) and Danny (Florence); his sister Rose in New Jersey; grandchildren: Jennifer, Nicole, Daniel, Deanna, Jillian, Dawn Marie, Mark, Alex, Samantha and Freddy; great- grandchildren: Daniel, Karley, Devon, Nixon, Jayden, Alyhia and Alexis; his buddies: Ron, Paddy, Greg, Derm, Dan, Tom, Dave and all the boys from far and near on the wharfs and in the garages. He will be remembered by a large number of relatives and friends.
