RIP Michael! You were one of my childhood friends! We grew up right next to each other. Do you remember sleeping in the tree fort?? LOL. Well - we tried but we were too scared!! I can't believe that you were right around the corner in Southampton and I never knew it. I thought you had gone off to become a famous chef in another country somewhere! How I wish FB was around 20 years ago so I would have known I could come taste your culinary delites anytime. I have missed you over the years and love you still. God hold you and bring your family peace.
