Michael Bush Obituary

Phoenicia-

Michael "Mickey" Bush, 70 of Phoenicia died peacefully Wednesday June 9, 2021 at his residence. He was born in Kingston August 17, 1950 son of the late Karl and Bette Farrell Bush. He was a talented athlete who lettered in Basketball, Baseball, and Football at Onteora High School. He continued to stay actively involved in local softball leagues for many years. He had been a past member of the MF Whitney Hose Co. Mickey was a fishing enthusiast, to say the least. It did not matter what type of fishing it was, he was there! He also had a depth of skills in his woodworking shop, where he was always busy working on a project to gift someone. He made plenty of picnic tables and Adirondack chairs for many local fund raisers. He was remembered as a loving, generous, and loyal man. Mickey worked for many years at the Kirk's Market in Phoenicia, and for the past two decades as produce clerk at Adam's in Kingston. In his free time, Mic was a true history buff.

Surviving are his wife Lynn Olsen Bush, his children: Michael "Mickey" (Alicia) Bush of TN. Bobby Taylor and fiancee Allison Lent of Marbletown, Jessica Taylor and her life partner Michael Short of Saugerties. Grandchildren:Gabe, Julie, Andrew, Katelyn, Tyler, and Aubrey. One sister Susan Balash of Kingston. He was predeceased by his brother Joe in 2018.
