Burl sain cut my hair when I was visiting my family during the summer when we were living in Ohio and then after that but then Tommy then cut my hair as well Jonathan Kirk
Burl was a man of God and he lived each day as we should. My whole family knew Burl our whole lives. My father passed in 98 and he and Burl were good friends along with my mother whom passed in 2021. One could write a book on Burl and still not say enough. He definitely has had a impact and important role in my life whether it be advise, prayer, one of us helping each other or just talking to each other. It has been a blessing and a honor knowing him. From my family to the Sain family our hearts and prayers are with you and God Bless.
To all of the Sain family, we know your hearts are heavy given the passing over of your husband, father grandfather, and great grandfather. Mark and Nancy and I talked about the sad news that Tommy had shared with us. Each one of us recalled times that we had in the barbershop. It was an every two week trip that dad along with Mark and I would go to the barbershop. Dad would wait for Burl and make us go to the next available barber. We loved it when there was few people in the barbershop and we could get Burl to cut our hair. We knew it was going to be done right. What we looked forward to most was getting a penny to put in the gum machine. Then we got the laughing about the shoe shine man who could make the rag pop in rhythm. That’s when Nancy said she had her shoes shined at one time. To all of the Sain Family we know your sorrow is mixed with rejoicing because there will be a reunion at a future point in time. May God‘s Holy Spirit comfort you in the days ahead.
I have a picture on the fridg at the office of my late husband Jack Huffman sitting with all four of his (our) grandsons waiting their turn in Burl's (or Tommy's) chair. That was at least 20 years ago. Those boys, Tyler, Ethan, Austin, Mason all grown men, now, still remember how special it was going for haircuts with Grandpa to see Burl. I am glad they had that chance. Thelma, Tommy, sisters......and all Burl's precious family, my love and sympathy, Guinn Huffman (Walker's Chapel)
Tommy and family, I just learned today of Burl's passing. Burl was a great man who definitely stood strong for many years. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

One of Gods greatest blessings to our community. He was a true leader and child of God. You knew how much he loved the Lord and his family. Thank You Lord for sending this man to show what a true man of God should be. This the family thank you for sharing him with our community and surrounding communities.
With much love to a wonderful spiritual man who raised a wonderful family.

Burke County lost one of the best, Burl Sain. I've known Burl for over 60 years and he cut my hair for 55 years. I've spent many hours in his basement talking to him when he cut my hair at his house. I've done a lot of work over the years for him and I've never known a more honest person. He will be sorely missed by many people. PS He has a wonderful wife. she always gave me a cookie or cake when I was over at their home and I appreciate it very much.
