After reading these very sad news, I'd like to add my condolences to the many already posted.
My good thoughts are with Mike's parents and relatives, I'm sorry for your loss and wish you peace and strength.

I only had a few direct exchanges with Mike, but, like likely everybody who is on this forum, I felt I knew him. He was just literally always present, a prolific poster with a most profound love of denim in general and the IH brand in particular. I always found he was generous, a good - if troubled - soul, and what I believe is called a "genuine guy".

It's terrible to lose him. He will be remembered, without any doubt, by this worldwide community to which he so extensively contributed.

R. I. P. Mike. Farewell.

It won't surprise anyone, but @chiverus is just wonderful to deal with. Great wares, friendly prices, reliable shipment, excellent communication. Plus just a kind, ultra nice guy.
Very many thanks, and if you see a future offer by him that I haven't grabbed immediately, go for it with confidence.

Great minds think alike, @Tago Mago

Pure, undiluted joy.

Picked up a major batch of repairs from DC 4 Berlin today.
I can't sing the praise of the work done by Daniel and his Japanese co-worker (whom I have, alas, not met yet) highly enough. Really, really pleased with the care and thoroughness.

I'm very humbled by the praise of @chiverus  and feel it's rather more than I deserve.
Can only respond in kind: you couldn't be in better hands if and when he is offering anything here.

Congratulations from Germany! The Three Lions just had the better spirit. I have to agree, quite deserved!
Now good luck for the Quarter Finals and further!

Hope you have a good catsitter… I do that regularly for friends, the two cats in question already treat me like their third owner. Well, almost... 

Thanks a lot, endo. My friend with whom I went to the building a good week ago actually worked in the very building years ago when it still was Coca Cola (and one can see a Coke sign on the door still today). How the film crew faked the lift with a door and a blind was legendary among the staff and often recounted among them.

Due to the overwhelming (ahem…) reaction to my little riddle, here's the solution :

It's "One, Two, Three", a marvel of a movie set in Berlin just before the Wall went up, and actually torpedoed in the production because it did.
The building in question was the real Coca Cola filling factory at the time, long since moved elsewhere. Fun fact: the elevator does not exist in that building. It's ground floor door is a fake, it's first floor then filmed in the studio. Sharp eyes will note that the elevator is on the wrong side of the stairs there...
One of my favourite movies, a strong recommendation for those who don't yet know it.

Kudos to @Aetas  for getting it totally right.

On my way from there, an opportunity for a little riddle for you all.

In which movie, set in Berlin, does this building play a central role?
