Shocked to learn of Mike’s passing yesterday upon calling to set an appointment. He styled my hair for years when I worked at FNBO, but when my employment locales changed, our relationship didn’t. I visited him at his home on somewhat frequent occasions, and we golfed together in the early morning group at Shoreline Golf Course many times. He has always been a gracious, gentile example of a man, and more of the likes of him should be amongst us today… So glad he found love with Linda ~ only regret is that the four of us didn’t get the chance to party together… Mike, I knew you just a bit, but I already miss that you’ve left this plane… RIP, my friend. ~Greg&LaurieTravis/402-290-9499
Mike cut my hair for fifteen years. He was more than a barber, he was a friend and wonderful, intelligent person. A life well lived but way too short. We all miss him.
Mike and I were students in a yoga class together. I’m grateful for his presence here on earth. A very nice man, and my sympathy to his family and to Linda.
Just learned of Mike’s passing … my sympathies to the family. Had not seen Mike since graduation… from home town

Mike was my barber for many many years and I enjoyed every time I sat in his chair – I always called him a miracle worker as he honed his craft to a fine art. We always enjoyed talking about family, politics and current affairs in general – he was very proud of his family and always showing me pictures and sharing stories of his grandchildren. You will be incredibly missed my friend – until a happy reunion sometime down the road.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Mike’s family. I will miss our lively conversation every 4 weeks for the past 25 years. Mike had a great sense of humor. Your DVR of late night comedy shows and sports center was always appreciated. Before every big event… vacations, wedding, anniversary, having the kids.. funerals.. always went to Mike to look my best and share in life’s moments. Rest in peace my friend.
I’ve just lost a good friend. Met Mike when he first started cutting hair an the extra chair at the “old”
Harley’s barber shop. Been his customer ever since. God speed Mike.
Mike was my barber for 25 years. He knew I hated two things: pumping gas and sitting for hair cuts. His lively conversations and humor made the later enjoyable. I will miss him greatly.
Rest in peace !
Prayers to all who will miss him .
Mike was my barber for 30 years. During that time we developed a great friendship that found it’s way onto the golf course, one of Mike’s greatest passions. I will always have fond memories of those times on the links with Mike. Rest in peace my friend, and may perpetual light shine upon you.
Mike was my Barber for nearly 30 years. He was a good friend and will be sorely missed.
Best barber I ever had, and a wonderful fellow to know!
I am so sorry to hear about Mike. He cut my hair for years and became a great friend. I will miss the conversations we had on each and every visit to his shop, he was a great guy.
Mike was my barber for a number of years and always made the experience so enjoyable. He easily became a friend that you looked forward to seeing. So sorry for your loss.
Rest easy, Mike. 2nd Timothy 4:6-8
I was a former client of Mike’s for years. So sorry to hear of his passing.
Michael was our barber for years and was a great guy! Still in total shock. He will be greatly missed for his friendship, lively conversations, firm opinions and his ability to cut hair! You won’t be forgotten, my friend!! Travel eternal!!!!
Mike was always good to have around at family gatherings. He always told it like it is and had a good time telling it.
Hard not to have fun when he was around…
I am so sad.. Mike was perhaps the hardest worker I have ever known with a wonderful smile and laugh. I had the pleasure of meeting his family who I know he so enjoyed…the best of the best. His years here were blessed. May he Rest In Peace.
Mike was a good man and will be missed by many
