My deepest sympathy goes out to Karams family.
Karam has been cutting my hair for a little over 20 years. I have four boys and Karam gave them all their first cut. Karam always greeted them with a smile and "what's up my man". It stings a lot that a good natured brother like Karam will no longer be with us. I and my boys will miss him a whole lot. Karam even gave my youngest son a nickname that my family calls him by. Love you my man.

First giving honor to the most high for his mercy. Peace and blessings to your immediate and extended family. I will never forget the multiple trips to the shop you were in downtown before it burned. And reconnecting with you on 7th street. Although your cell phone lay dormant in my phone. I still kept it close to me. Thank you for your hospitality from the early 80's until my last visit with you this past October. Certainly one of Chester's greatest talents! May God rest your soul.

My Favorite Memory was when my Hubby & I came for a visit & Tyrone came to the window of his Bedroom to ask who was at the door. My Hubby (the Joker) responded and very seriously I might add, "We came to borrow your truck to haul rocks." He said" No Man, that truck is not for hauling no rocks." HAHA We then proceded to tell him what we were really there for & that we had left something in the door for tha family.
