Rest easy Mike. You had a quiet, poignant way about you. Always kind and eager to learn about others, always listening. Your smile was the definition of infectious. Your understated humor and warmth made mundane trips to Zaza's a joy. There aren't any others like you and for that you will be sorely missed.
