Though we, his old customers, all miss his unique brand of wit and fine service, sometimes with a song, always with a smile- okay, smirk- (and that side of tartar your waitress forgot all about) sadly, we knew he was destined for greater things than what our little island town had to offer. The good thing is, he's not that far, (sorry, Alex)and now, more people will be lucky enough to cross his path and experience what a real professional has to offer, in this business where so few actually are. We may even gather our motley selves and our ferry passes and try to ruffle his feathers once again. One can only hope.
