May Mike rest in peace and his family and friends be blessed with many happy memories. I have served Mike coffee for almost 8 years. Not a day went by that he didn't wave hello or share a funny story with me. He always put a smile on my face with his thoughtful greetings. I am so sorry to hear of his passing.
