    To the Family of Mike Pittas, I have known Mike for many years. He was a wonderful and hard working friend. I remember when his wife Sophia, passed. Mike was never the same. Now he is rejoined with the love of his life. I will never forget Mike’s jovial attitude and the many jokes we shared with each other. I will forever miss seeing him at Olympics Sub & Steaks. May God bless his family.
