He was born on May 26, 1949, in Wayne County, Indiana, to the late Sherwood and Ruth (Vietor) Poling.
Mickey graduated in 1968 from Westmont High School in Hollansburg. He spent over 43 years working for Whirlpool in Greenville until he retired in June 2014. Mickey loved to travel the United States on his Honda Gold Wing. From California to Florida, you never knew where his next trip would take him. When he was not riding his bike, you could find him at the Union City Country Club playing golf with his friends. Mickey also enjoyed watching NASCAR, and he even went to several races around the country on his Gold Wing. Mickey was a member of the Loyal Order of Moose, Lodge #329 and the Fraternal Order of Eagles #2177, both in Greenville. He also enjoyed going to the American Legion, Post 140, also in Greenville.
