I'm so sad to hear that Miles is no longer on this earth to share his love, warmth, and infectious laugh. He was easy going, full of energy, the light of a party... always had something funny to say with that adorable mischievious glimmer in his eye! Words can't express my sorrow for his friends and family.

I will always remember Miles with a smile on his face and a pair of barbeque tongs in his hands. He talked me into trying his barbequed oysters! And they were great! He always made everyone feel comfortable...like family. He will be missed but always loved. Safe Journey, Miles.
