Kerry Makay, an owner of downtown Waukesha coffee shop, The Steaming Cup, has retired from Harley-Davidson, where he worked for nearly 37 years.

Kerry and wife, Terry, threw a two-day celebration at the shop to honor the retirement. Many turned out to congratulate Kerry, including Harley staff and alumni. Nearly everyone wore clothes bearing Harley logos.

Kerry wore an apron that that said “Harley Tea Guy At Your Service.”

Kerry says he will spend more time working at the coffee shop, a business that largely had been run during the day by Terry. The shop opened five years ago.

Terry jokingly says that Kerry will be placed on 30 days probation at his new job.
