Not sure what to say?

I was thinking about you the other day decided to look you up. I did not know you passed away. Rip. Michael. We had some times as neighbor kids. Your mom was kind to me when my Dad wasn't. Your house was my safe haven. We made wax candles and watched soap operas with your mom. Time keeps marching by. Wishing your family condolences. see you on the other side Michael.

My deepest sympathy to the family
I first met Michael about 30 years ago at Sir Rolands Hairstyling in Hollywood, FL. It was the begining of my hairstyling career. I am gratful for his friendship and his good nature of always trying to help others he helped me build confidence in myself and told me Don't sweat the small stuff. Many times Michael would say and do the right things and help make my day brighter. I will really miss Mondays on the FT.Laud Beach.You will always be in my...

IN THE NAME OF THE MOST HIGH ALMIGHTY POWER OF CREATION, MICHAEL MAY ALL THE JOY AND LOVE OF BEING UNITED WITH THE SOURCE OF ALL EXISTANCE BE IN YOUR HEART. MAY YOUR JOURNEY HOME KEEP YOU IN PEACE EVERLASTING! WE ARE ALL ON THIS SAME JOURNEY.
YOU GAVE ME A SENSE OF CONFIDENCE WHEN I NEEDED IT MOST. YOU TAUGHT ME THE MEANING OF TAKING CARE OF MY LOOK. WHEN I WENT TO SEE YOU AT THE HOSPITAL YOU GAVE ME MY COLOR FORMULA. YOU MADE ME LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL. I CHERRISH THE GOOD FORTUNE OF...

In reading all the entries and gathering my thoughts, I realize there are no words to describe this wonderful man. I met Michael in the early '70s and he was MY hairdresser from then on. I had an automobile accident in 1986 and could not get out. When Michael found out, he came to the house and did my hair....I will never forget.
He was a special person always with a beautiful smile and hug for his friends.

I knew and lived with Michael for 14 years. He was a very generous, sweet and funny man. He was loved by his friends and family and will be missed greatly by those who loved him the most.

Michael was one of the most amazing people I have met. He was the kind of guy who was there for you when the chips were down. He was the best colorist-hands down. He will be missed tremendously, but always in my thoughts...

I've known Michael for several years; he did my hair and my Mom's. He was especially kind to my
mother during her illness, which I will never forget. He was a talented stylist, and a sweet, loving person. May he rest in peace and love. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
Sincerely,

We wanted to send out our deepest sympathies to the entire family. My brothers and I spent our childhood together with Christopher. We were inseparable. I have many fond memories of Michael. He was a great man. I don’t know if anyone will read this but we would love to get into contact once again with Christopher. Please let him know that my family is very sorry for his loss. Take care of each other.

To Michael's family:
Michael did our hair for many years, and when I first started going to him, I found out that he did my mother's hair over 20 years ago... Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
Jill and Toby Parnes
