Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
I had the pleasure of seeing Michael several times a week when I shopped in the produce department at Harris Teeter. He was such a gentle and kind person and a stellar employee. If I needed anything, he stopped what he was doing to go to the back to find it. He will be greatly missed. I was in there today and it just didn’t seem the same without the warmth of Michael’s presence. Rest In Peace, Michael.
