What an AWESOME man and friend of our family. I am so sorry for your loss. I spent many hours in his shop growing up and get my haircut and my reward from the pretzel box. Thanks for sharing your dad with me.

Mr. Molettier, was a barber that I felt comfortable going to. He felt almost like family, I had told him that my grandfather ,father, and my sister cut hair. But my profession was cutting trees, go figure? I will miss getting my haircut from him and not seeing him at the shop. RIP Mr. Molettier.

Rest in peace Mr Molettiere. You will be missed. You've always been pleasant, fair and a source of razor parts! Your shop is in great hands now.

Mr. Molettiere was my first barber and cut my hair through college.

He was a fine man and I still remember KYW playing while I waitied, Archie comics, and the pretzel stick when I was done!

Rest In Peace, good and faithful servant.
