Barbershop Goodbye
RECEIVED Mon., Aug. 17, 2020
Dear Editor,
Hi, I reached out through your Op-Ed page to see if the Chronicle would consider putting together an article about a barbershop located in the Hancock Shopping Center that is closing its doors after 55 years! But never received a response back. That's too bad and sad.
As we know, there is not much going on at Hancock but this gentlemen, John, has owned and operated this place most of his life. He needs to be recognized at the very least because places like this are a thing of the past, and I believe it would be great if you wrote an article about him. He's 81 years old.
Store is closing very soon and that's it. I've been trying to help liquidate the used old furniture in the space but not having any luck.
John dreams of retiring but on the other hand I can sense what I am sure so many others have thought before after being in the business as long as he has and closing the doors … it's going to be somewhat sad. His lovely wife Lena is still with him and they are neighbors of mine. I love them dearly and sort of watch over them
Hancock Barber Shop. If you need his number, let me know. I just think that lately with all of the other COVID, protesting, government corruption ... you guys would want to publish something nice and heartwarming.
Thanks!
