Manuel was such a wonderful and kind man, and I will always treasure the memories of visiting his barbershop in Oberlin, Ohio with my grandma, grandpa, and my dad. Getting a haircut from Manuel was always special because he made everyone feel welcome and cared about. He was always friendly, warm, and kindhearted.

Some of my favorite childhood memories are those walks to his shop during visits to Oberlin. Manuel was more than a barber — he was a part of the community and a part of many happy memories for our family.

He will be deeply missed, but never forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

Your life was the person who stood behind a barber chair listening to many stories. Many say " he cut my hair when I was 2, he loves dogs and have treats for them when walk by his shop,college students would come no apt. He was a kind soul with a punch line you will have to laugh and cry. Oberlin remembers you. Life lived and beyond.

Mrs Espinoza and family
I'm sure you are getting many condolences like this one. I've known Manuel for 45 years starting as my barber and became a good friend. The Barber shop was respectfully like a local bar. People would gather and talk about Oberlin the country, sports ,family,the good and the bad times in our lives. He was a great man,a big part of Oberlin and it was a true pleasure and joy to know him he will be missed.
God Bless you at this difficult time

When I was little I would often go with my dad when he went to get his beard trimmed at Manuel's. Manuel would always put on a Looney Tunes cassette for me. He's the reason I know anything about Buggs Bunny, Wile E Coyote, etc. It's a core memory of my childhood and whenever I come across a reference to those cartoons I think of him. Thanks man, you were the best.
