I could talk of hair cuts and jokes, or all the people and stories related to my many years knowing " Mike the Barber", but the most important thing I can say is this; Mike was a kind, hard working man, who brought joy, humor, and brotherly love to all that had the pleasure to sit in his chair. We need more people like him. Rest in peace my friend.

Mike was my Grandpa's barber for a long time, and treated him with such kindness even after Grandpa started to fade a bit. I always looked forward the time we spent at Mike's. May he rest in peace.

Customer of Mikes for over 20 years. Thanks to Jason Beckham for taking me initially. I cherished waiting for a haircut. Some of the funniest moments in my life. I loved Mike. My heart breaks knowing I never said goodbye. Rest In Peace.

Mike was one of my father's best friends and stood up in my parent's wedding. My father always spoke very highly of Mike, who truly was a good man and who was loved by many. May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. Your family is in my prayers.

Mike the Barber started cutting my hair over 50 years ago. I believe it was Franks Barber Shop then, farther South on Telegraph. I could write a book on barber shop talk at Mikes. In later years, I would drive up to Mikes and if there were two or three cars in the parking lot, I would come back home as I didnt like to wait. My wife would say, That was fast. I would say, Too many cars in the parking lot and I would go back later. Then one day I drove up for a haircut and the shop was...

I started getting my hair cut by Mike when I was about 10,then my younger brother Dave followed.As a teen I would stop by and hang out at Mike's shop and catch the latest goings on in the neighborhood.R.i.P. Mike

Was my barber for over 35 years. No one could cut hair like Mike. My three sons all had haircuts by Mike the Barber.
