This afternoon I went to Decaturish and saw this on the front page. It was a sock in the gut to realize that the Kevin Davis referred to worked behind the counter at Sawicki's.
The killing happened while I was out of town for the holidays. In his obituary I learned that Kevin was a fellow Wisconsinite.
I am not just a customer of Kevin Davis's employer. I am an enthusiastic fan of Sawicki's, and Lynn's employees are among the reasons. Kevin knew his stuff, was unfailingly friendly and helpful, and seemed to be an all-around good guy. I can't say he was a friend, but whenever I stepped in to Sawicki's to pick up a sandwich and he was behind the counter, I knew I would be taken care of.
I think I'll have more to say on this wrong. For now, let me say that of the dozens of places in the metro that Margaret and I have eaten in together, Sawicki's is in a very small group which are special not just because of the quality of what we eat there but also because of the love you see in everything the people there do: love for people, love for good food, love for the mission of bringing good food to people. On that list: Sawicki's, Sobban, Duck's. We are eating at Duck's tonight. I will pour out a libation for Kevin.
