Al Dean Mic Handlos, 70, of Everett, passed awan on May 22, 2007, surrounded by his family.
He was born in Bottineau, N.D., on March 15, 1937, to Albert and Ruth Handlos.
His parents preceded him in death, along with brothers, Donald, Keith, Grant and Gene Handlos.
He is survived by his sons, Michael Handlos, of Moorhead, Minn.; Steve Handlos, of Everett, Wash.; daughters, Barbara (Brian) Meyers and Karyn (Hugh) Cannon, both of Marysville, Wash.; sisters, Mona Handlos, of Denver, Colo.; Kitty Reed, of Underhill, Vt.; brother Neil Handlos of Minnesota; and 13 grandchildren.
After living his younger years in North Dakota, Mic jointed and served in the U.S. Army during the Korean conflict. He moved to Everett, where he worked at Brakes Inc. throughout the 1960s and early 1970s. He was then employed at Everett Brake Supply until his recent illness.
His greatest joys in life were his family, friends, gardening, bowling, volunteering at St. Vincent De Paul and above all, racing. Since 1965 he has been a loyal friend and fan at Sky Valley and Skagit Speedways.
He touched so many lives and will be greatly missed by all those who knew and loved him.
At his request, there will be no service. We would like to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to all those friends and family who have helped us through this difficult time.
We Love you Pops.
