Come up w/name. The cashier, Miles & I, struck up a conversion, & he mentioned he was a native of FP,
Said his Dad was an attorney. That
Second, it hit me! I said, “Hello

I worked with Miles at HCSO. Every morning for 15 years, we had coffee in my office and talked about everything from work, life, football, etc…..He was such a dear friend and will be missed so much. Miles was an outgoing person, with a contagious laugh, and a loving heart. All he wanted from life was to love and be loved. His greatest joy was his son, Landon, and was so proud of him. He would just smile and glow when he talked about him. Miles was a rare jewel and a legend in his own way. This world will not be the same without him. RIP my sweet friend.
