We lost a big part of our Fresco Family yesterday. Big Mike was just that… a big man, with a big heart, a big voice, and a big personality. Lunches won’t be the same without you. Now you can watch all your Philly teams from the front row, and catch the big one every time. Rest in Peace Big Mike. We will miss you.
