We never met Sean but we know that he must have been a magnificent person if Sofia married him.
We're sincerely sorry to have missed his presence.
Our hearts are filled with sorrow for the Goff family's loss.

To the Entire Goff Family-
I am heartbroken for your loss, what a tragedy to hear of Sean's illness and passing.
I first met Sean while working with his mother Suzan at Mortgage Brokers in the late 80's. He then catered my wedding for me. I have followed his success and was so happy when he opened his own place in West Seattle. The first time Mike and I ate there Sean was so gracious and obviously happy to see us. He even walked us to our car while we were so busy chatting. I have frequented Cafe Revo and will continue to do so.
Sofia, to you and your children, I send you my prayers and also to Sean's father and brother. Milo, to you, thank you for being such a great friend to Sean, I know you will be there for Sofia. I know he has reunited with his mother in heaven
