Oh, Michael... There will never be anyone like you. You were someone special to me at N.C.C.C., and you know why if you remember a certain cornfield and a farmer plowing it...
I will always remember "The Widow" and "Cerise"...
Always, Jon...

My dad and I just found out about your passing today while he was trying to schedule another wonderful haircut with you. You've been cutting our hair since '95 and been one of the few constant for all of these years. I'm so glad I was able to visit you with my dad and son back in March and had a classic final cut from you. Rest in Peace.

Michael,
I just heard of your passing today. I was calling to come in and see you. You were my friend and I enjoyed our conversations and laughing during haircut appointments. You were a very special guy and I will never forget you. Rest In Peace my friend,

I was lucky enough to see Michael and have him cut my hair every 3 months for 10 years. I loved his humor and his kindness. We had many conversations (of course) on many different topics. I am so sorry to have missed the visitation. May he rest in peace.

What a bright light in a dark world! You truly had the gift, not only for hair but for making someone smile and definitely their heart soar with laughter. Remember my friend "Choose not too!" I will miss you tremendously (especially your laugh!) God speed. I know you have him cracking up laughing already! XO Nic

We were friends for over 40 years & I feel like I´ve lost a brother. So many laughs we had together. The afterlife will have no more dark roots or split ends. Beauty all around because that´s what you did for us here on earth. Love you, my friend...til we meet again!
