Maryanne and Family, Bob and I offer our condolences at this time of grief with the loss of your Dad. He was an awesome man and had a good life. He cut all my brother's hair and was a good friend to my father. He use to give him those bottles of green and/or red hair tonic. Santo was loved by many.
God Bless.
