Michael Joseph Kulz, 30, told his co-workers at the Stop & Shop in Mansfield that he was looking forward to rocking out to heavy metal music when he went to see the Great White show at The Station on Feb. 20.

Friends and co-workers at the store, where Kulz worked since he was 16, remembered him as a perfectionist.

"Mike was known for being a perfectionist when it came to his department," Faith Weiner, a spokeswoman for the supermarket, told The Boston Globe.

Kulz, of Warwick, also had a passion for comic books and would playfully draw cartoons for kids who were shopping in the store with their parents, Weiner said.
