In Memory of Greg Mudge

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. TLAIB. Madam Speaker, today I want to celebrate the memory of Greg Mudge, a longtime community member and business owner in Detroit, Michigan, who we tragically lost last year.

Greg was a beloved member of our community, and his sudden death was a shock to us all. When he first opened Mudgie's Deli under his ownership back in 2008, Greg was already a member of the community. A food service veteran, he built and managed his own business with the heart and soul of family. His approach was ``all hands on deck,'' and he never shied away from any task and always gave a helping hand to any of his team.

Greg was a deli sandwich craftsman committed to serving high-quality food. Many of his menu offerings were made from scratch. He incorporated family recipes, like his grandmother's meatloaf, into his menu items. The homemade food made Mudgie's Deli a neighborhood standout. More than that, Greg's enthusiasm and passion for his work shined through in all that he did.

Always greeting guests with a warm smile, Greg Mudge embodied the spirit of our southwest Detroit neighborhoods. Please join me in honoring his memory.
