My Father was the other barber for 38 years in Tucker. Frank A Lentini, owner and operator of Franks Barber and Style Shop on
Lawrenceville Highway. Joe would cut daddy's hair and he'd cut Joes in return. Charles would cut daddy's hair and dad would cut Charles hair. Either way all the Tucker barbers took care of each other and had respect for one another. I heard many nice things from my dad about Joe. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

So sorry for your family's loss. May loving memories shared and God's care at this sad time bring comfort.

What a honor and privilege for the family to have shared so many wonderful memories with Joe during his long life!-Psalms 90:10

May the blessings of God's comfort be with the family during this difficult time. 2nd Cor. 1:3,4.
Sincerely,

Facing the coming days is difficult without your loved one, but the love of family and friends can see you through. God will give you strength. Psalms 68:20

Offering our deepest condolences to the family and friends in your hour of grief. Matt 5:4.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Joe was a good Christian man. When the doors opened at Rehoboth Baptist Church, he was there. I also remember seeing him showing his Christian spirit by providing golf cart rides for people visiting doctors at the medical buildings at Dekalb Medical Center. Joe will be missed by a multitude.
