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.

About three years ago, I moved back to Oberlin after more than 50 years. And on a Monday in January that year, I very much needed a haircut, but, alas, when I looked online, there was no place in town that was open. But when I drove to the bank, I noticed that Manuel's was open. I was truly surprised to see that the man sitting in the back was none other than Manuel himself. I mentioned that he had cut my father's hair for years, and when I told him who my father had been, he smiled and pointed to the picture of him in younger days--black leather jacketed and leaning against his motorcycle. "Your sister took that picture of me," he said. "Best picture I ever had taken." And then, he looked at me and said, "So, you must be the one that was in the plays." Yep, I am. Many people think of Manuel's as an Oberlin institution. Nope. That distinction belonged to Manuel. And we will all miss him.

So many memories of talks with Manuel and "townies" from the barber chair. He took his last years of health problems with such composure and strength. My heart goes out to Manuel's family.
