Julie and family members Cathy and I are truly sorry for your loss. Michael was a one of a kind guy who was always very kind hearted to everyone. He was a very kind man and we certainly enjoyed our cooking classes with you and him at Sur La Table. We will miss him and if there is any way we can give comfort please let us know.
