This is Aaron and I have to share something truly awful with all of you. Serg has passed away, he was not only my business partner but also my husband and the light and love of my life. He truly made the world a brighter and happier place and I’m heartbroken.
All of my teams are in shock and mourning as we try and digest and understand this truly awful news. Café Nucleus will never be the same again without him but we’re going to try our best to make him proud as he looks down on us.
We’re all going to miss his personality, his jokes and how he lit up the room when he walked in.
We will have a memorial for Serg to celebrate just how fabulous he is. These have been the hardest and darkest days of my life but I know together we’ll get through it. Aaron xx
