Relatives and friends are invited to a celebration of life for Albert Andrew Neiman , 83, of Central Point, formerly of Coos Bay, at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 11, at Bay Area Church Nazarene, 1850 Clark St., in North Bend with Pastor Ron Halvorson officiating. Burial to be held at Sunset Memorial Park.

Albert was born in Cleveland, Ohio Jan. 11, 1931, to John and Pauline (Schivelbein) Neiman. He was the youngest of three. Albert went home to be with his Lord and savior Oct. 7, 2014. He was at home in Central Point surrounded by his loving children.

His wife of 61 years, Darla had made her way to her heavenly home six months prior. Al lived in Coos Bay from 1951 to 2011 when he and Darla moved to Central Point to be closer to their children.

Al worked at the Al Pierce Lumber Mill and Tower Ford before attending Barber College in Portland. In 1968 he took a job working at the Coos Bay Barber Shop and purchased the shop in 1978. He could be seen every day walking to and from the shop down Anderson Street waving at many friends and patrons. He spent many hours cutting hair for residents in living care facilities and nursing homes. He had an article written about him in 1980 calling him "The Scissor Wizard" – that name stuck with him for years after. He had to sell the barber shop in 2003 after having a stroke and sure missed the company of all his customers and friends.

Al loved fishing and was pictured once again in the local newspaper holding his trophy salmon caught on Hunters Creek in Gold Beach. His children and grandchildren have so many fond fishing memories with him. He was a selfless, giving, kind and humble man with a smile on his face through adversity. Albert was a member of the Church of the Nazarene and attended both in North Bend and Medford.

Albert is lovingly remembered and will be missed so very much by his four children and their spouses, Debbie and Darin Claiborne, Steven and Carolyn Neiman, Connie and William Easley, and Darlene and Steve Hay; his 11 grandchildren, Annette, Aaron, Dustin, Misty, Amanda, Crystal, Jarod, Michelle, Tyrell, Carlene and Triston; his 15 great-grandchildren, and two more on the way; and his sister, Pauline Baskall of Sterling, Colo.

Contributions in his memory may be made to Bay Area Church of the Nazarene, 1850 Clark St., North Bend, OR 97459; or to Medford First Church of the Nazarene, 1974 E. McAndrews Road, Medford OR 97504 for their missions fund.

Arrangements are under the direction of Coos Bay Chapel, 541-267-3131.
