Brief delivery driver being said he was one of few that really got how the business was handled. He treated me with respect and expected the same few men have what he did today. Proud to say I did manage to deliver to his daughter Emily and her mother for the next decade and they are fine people! With respect and honor to have known him.

I am so very sorry to hear this about Michael. I always enjoyed talking to Mr. and Mrs. Severance and to Michael these many years. I lived just three doors away on Oakland Pk. Ave. for many years and was a Columbus Police Officer. I moved away about six years ago and had lost touch. Please accept my most sincere condolences and I will be sending prayers to the entire family.
