Miceli, 37, of Lisbon, Conn., was the kind of lucky guy who always seemed to win things in contests. Often, he would share his winnings with friends, family and co-workers.

He won tickets for the Great White concert from a radio station. He and his girlfriend, Jude Henault, went to the concert and perished in the fire.

Miceli was a music enthusiast who also loved animals, camping, and his new Harley Davidson, said his employer, Richard Deabay, owner of Tri-State Glass.
