In the early hours of May 15, 2023, Louis Michael Prisco of Millbrook, NY passed away surrounded by his family. Mickey Prisco was as unique and memorable as they come. He was known as a storyteller and was eternally interested in everyone he encountered. With all his strength, focus, and humor he loved his family, friends, and community above all else.
Mickey was born to Michael and Mary Prisco at Coney Island Hospital on June 8, 1934. He grew up between Brooklyn and Kingston, NY as his father's jobs changed. He was a devoted son and brother.
Enlisting in the United States Marine Corps had a significant affect on his life. He generously shared the pride and wisdom he learned and developed in the military with everyone he knew and was known to sing the Marine Corps Hymn without warning.
Upon his return to New York from the Marine Corps in California, Mickey sought out a job at Western Printing where he met his bride and lifelong partner Florence Corsilia Prisco, known to all as Fussy.
Then, Mickey went to work for IBM and he and Fussy began a family in 1964 with the birth of their son, George. Then in 1968 they welcomed their daughter, Amy.
In April, 2023, Mickey and Fussy's children and grandchildren gathered at Charlotte's Restaurant in Millbrook to celebrate the couple's 60th wedding anniversary at the same site their wedding reception was held, then called the Silver Horn.
Mickey was known to so many as a 50+ year volunteer fireman at the Millbrook Fire Department. Mickey joined the Millbrook Fire Department in December of 1966, he served as Vice President for four years and as a Director of the Board for fourteen years.  In December of 1991, Mickey became a life member having served 25 years of active service.

Mickey was also a Little League coach, Santa Claus at Village Christmas celebrations, an active member of St. Joseph's Church and a long-time volunteer at MidHudson Regional Hospital, formerly St. Francis Hospital. He was an avid fisherman and hunter, a beleaguered Mets Fan.
He was proud to have been the Justice of the Peace in Millbrook for many years. Along with his regular court duties, it was his privilege to have officiated more than 700 weddings.
With his family around him, Mickey said he "came into this world with nothing and wanted to make it a better place." He did, and for that his family, friends, and the entire community that is Millbrook will forever be grateful that they knew, loved, and were loved by Mickey Prisco.

Mickey is survived by his wife of 60 years, Fussy. Also, son George and his wife Kathy, and daughter Amy and her husband Ken. He loved and doted over his grandchildren Bianca and Lydia Ring and Katie and CJ Eckelmann, and Kristie and Kevin Poncelet. He also loved his great grandson, Ivan Eckelmann. He is survived by a brother, Michael Prisco and his wife Nancy of Colorado. Among those who predeceased Mickey was his daughter-in-law Lisa Prisco.
