Martin Maurice McDonald “Uncle Moe”

I just just heard that you made your transition only a month ago. I was truly had a loss for words then and now. We go back to elementary school together. Over the years i see that you grow into a fine and respected person and I thank God for our paths to have crossed knowing you. May your family and friends find comfort and may you truly Rest In Peace. Walter Henderson

Hey, man Dude, you are gonna be deeply Missed, Well let me just say this God has you now and one day we will meet again, Love you my Brother.

Moe taught me about the real side of being a man and how hard life can get but how you still gotta' get up and push through.

I started getting my haircut by Moe in the 7th grade @ Goodfellas barbershop on Sunset and Beatties ford; whenever he left a shop I followed him wherever he went.

I always looked forward to pulling up and choppin' it up while getting a cut. Moe used to do everything while he was cutting your hair (LOL) but he was genuine and LOVED his craft.

As a man, you have little people you open up with on a personal level for the most part - your barber is one of those people. The mentorship I experienced with Moe, while growing up on the west side, cannot be duplicated - Matter fact I'm growing my hair out.

Love You Unc.

In knowing Moe, I came to respect barber culture as something which shapes the ideas and personal wisdoms one typically holds to in advancing age. For a long time, I found it to be the case that each visit to wherever Moe may been cutting was always an experience of learning. The greatest lesson I ever learned was patience, and in coming to respect the world in which I grew up in, the barbershops I would frequent turned into places of rest where I could exercise this capacity. It was within the sound of clippers and conversation that I came to respect an attitude geared toward simple listening, responding and calm. Visiting Moe was like being allowed to spend time with an Uncle you were always close to and could speak to about anything. Be it sports, law, popular culture or current events, Moe was, in many respects, a teacher outside of the classroom. I am not able to forget the kindness he showed me on a weekly basis, and knowing that Heaven now holds him, I find solace in his remembrance.

God bless you Moe, and may you Rest In Peace

Marty, Sleep on my brother. You served your purpose her on earth now God has taken you back. Rest In Peace my brother.

I just found out tonight you passed away I am at a loss of words. I remember the moment in college when my football team was at a restaurant and you walked in with your military friends.
