I’ve known John and his father Johnny since as far back as I can remember. Every time I visit Fayetteville, I make a point to stop in for a cut and a chat. John was always lively with his banter and kept the tradition of chatting in a barbershop going strong. Getting a cut in Fayetteville won’t be the same anymore.
Shawna and family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all
Shawna, thoughts and prayers are with you all
Our hearts are heavy with the news of the loss of John. He was a true friend and will be greatly missed. Our prayers are with the family at this time.
My heart goes out to John’s family. In the more than thirty years I knew him, we talked about countless interesting subjects. On some (such as music) we had very similar opinions. On others, we knew we were likely to disagree but enjoyed a friendly argument. John was talented and always thoughtful. I looked forward to our visits. It’s hard to realize that he’s gone. My thoughts and prayers are with Johnny and the rest of the family.
Johnny and family. Gerry and I were shocked to learn about John’s passing. If you need anything please let us know.
To John’s family and co-workers,
I am sorry to hear about the loss of John. He and I developed a friendship the past several years at the shop. I always enjoyed being in his company and was stunned to hear the news of his death. I will miss his humor, professionalism and camaraderie.
Just found out yesterday of John’s passing. Was shocked and so very sadden to hear. Total disbelief. I am so sorry for your loss.
Rest in peace John! I will miss you buddy ! I enjoyed your conversations and you were always teasing me !
So shocked to hear this sad news. John was like family to us loved him dearly and his Dad too. He has done my hair for ages. I could always trust him to do it the way I liked. Our prayers go with the family. We could always share our stories and enjoyment.
I am shocked to have learned of John’s passing. As I always have, I put off coming in for a haircut as long as possible. John always gave me a “hard time” about waiting so long to come in. I’ll miss that. So sorry for the loss of such a kind and entertaining man.
