Michael Kluthe

I was a client of Michael Kluthe Salon (MKS) since I was 16. That was in 1972. It was a family affair. My two aunts were also clients. Plus, I brought their youngest sister, my mother, to Lily Jackel. My father loved the workmanship, colour and finished product! The Glitter Girls and the Who's Who of Toronto came. Just before the Brazilian Ball or any other high profile fund raiser, the salon was busy. A woman named Elaine ran the front desk efficiently for years and knew each client...

Condolences from many friends in Rochester New York who have had the distinct honor and pleasure to get to know Michael and to compete with him on the golf course on both sides of the border.

I was privileged to work with Michael since 1971. He was a patient teacher and great friend. I have many fond memories of our great trips to New York and abroad attending Intercoiffure meetings and events where he served many years as its President Mondial and was admired by all our industry colleagues. Michael was a magnet, always surrounded by people listening to his funny jokes and stories at the many parties, dinners and events that he held for the staff. Michael was a very special person...

I knew Michael from Beacon Hall. He loved to compete in the Member-Guest events and I remember being partnered up in a group with him when he made his last playoff in the 1-day Member-Guest event. He was complaining about the distance that he had lost but he was a fierce competitor and he made every single putt that day. Rest in peace Michael. My deepest condolences to his family.

Donna and I will cherish the many fond memories over the years, especially in Bermuda and at Beacon Hall. Michael, your friendship, kindness, generosity and support have been a blessing. I am a lucky guy! Rest in peace, my friend.
