Our prayers are with you during this time Rita. Mike certainly was a wonderful person,and it was a joy to visit with him each time we were in the shop. Truly is he one of a kind. For the seventeen years we frequented, he earned the trust as a barber, friend and neighbor in the community. He will remain in our thoughts and memories throughout the years. It was wonderful to know someone so dependable, trustworthy, who made a mark on our lives.
