Michele Crossed Over
Donation protected
My dear friends, family and associates it is with a very heavy heart that on December 1st 2020 I share with you the passing of my lifelong best friend Michele Gualtiero
Michele and I have shared many dreams filled with love, laughter and aspirations. Like me it’s always been Michele’s dream to open a restaurant and live the dream of a chef and entrepreneur. In 2010 his dream came true as he opened the now well loved Polipo Fritto located in Varese Italy.
They specialize in many local dishes serving their amazing seafood plate but mostly they served up love, laughter and happiness.
You see that’s who he was to me and many others, my brother my friend and the closest person in my life that shared dreams with is now on with the angels in heaven. Everyday (and I mean everyday) we talked and shared our stories of family and the business I will miss him beyond what I can explain.
Today Michele dream is being challenged and I (we) need your help. Sabina has been burdened with the untimely costs associated with his death. On top of this she still has every intention of fulfilling and mainating Michele dream … his beloved restaurant, but there’s a small mountain ahead.
She has what it takes to continue but the laws of paying landlords on time and the people in the business of just business only and not the people themselves are pressing her already with financial obligations that add more stress on top of her loss.
So it is with extreme and sincere humility that I ask that you take a moment and reflect on losses that we are have endured at one time or another and find it within your hearts to tep up and help my dear friends wife and his family.
We all need help every now and then and with all the uncertainty and fear in the air these days we need YOU now more than ever.
Every (and I mean every) donation regardless of amount will be appreciated with enormous gratitude and love.
There are those of you that will turn a blind eye, and those that will think that your donation will be too small but it only takes a simple snowflake to create an avalanche… please be a part of the Michele avalanche and help Saabina move her mountain and save Polipo Fritto restaurant!
