He was a quiet, humble man with a great sense of humor and will be greatly missed by many.
Miss you so much Mike ♥️ RIP ♥️
My Grandpa Mike- one of the kindest, warmest, sincerest, hardest working men in the world. He is truly a gem of a person and I will miss my sentimental cards and seeing him in those black boots and jeans. Love you always Mike!
Mike, you had a quiet and gentle presence about you, and loved people and your country fiercely. You will be missed by all the ones you “touched,” through your friendship or in the barbers’s chair. Praying for you GMA Patty, i.e. GiGi!
Hi, I am commenting here not because I knew Mike well, or for a long time but because the impact he left on me was incredible. About a year and a half ago I enlisted in the military. Change is not something I’m used to and I was super super nervous going into it. I decided to get my haircut one last time m, and my mom recommended this barber named “Mike”. I decided why not go to him. I get there and come into one of the coolest shops I’ve ever been in, ready to get all my hair cut off on my own terms. Mike and some other customers also find out from my mom (who was with me) that I’m leaving for boot camp in a couple weeks so they start talking about what I’m doing, the future etc etc. Mike then proceeds to give me TONS of encouragement which I took with me all the way through basic. This man didn’t live a life of luxury but was rich because of the love in his heart. Such a wonderful man who lived a wonderful life. God bless you Mike and may you rest in peace.
31 days ago I lost this wonderful man that has been by my side for 27 years! Mike was my biggest supporter, gave me encouragement when things were rough, showered me with love everyday, laughed with me, kind, gentle, and respectful to me, was everything that a woman wanted in her life partner! I will miss Mike’s gentle calming demeanor, his smile, hugs, the “I love you” every day plus everything about him! Mike was a Son, Brother, Dad, Gpa, Great Gpa, friend, and a man who helped anyone in need! I will always love him, miss him, honor him, he is in my heart and thoughts every day and always will be!
