I really enjoyed interviewing Joe on being a 100 year old barber. He was a kind soul. He will be missed!

When I was a little girl, I would come into the San Carlos Barber Shop to see my dad. Mr. Joe always had a smile for me and a penny so I could go into the gift shop and by a piece of candy. I so loved seeing him at my mothers 90th birthday party. He was such a good friend and my dad loved when he came out to our house to oyster or fish after the hotel closed. My Prayers to his family!

Joe Brown was a wonderful gentleman and he will be missed. I enjoyed seeing him every few weeks for the last 20+ years for haircuts. He was a wealth of American history, having worked at a CCC camp during the Great Depression, serving our country in the Army as noted. I will miss him greatly as he inspired me with his work ethic, humor, friendship, kindness and humility.

Mr. Brown was a kind and fine man. He was always so uplifting and nice to me. Always made sure my pocket knife was sharp when I came in for my haircut.He was a friend to so many. Always greeted you with a smile and left you with one. Heaven has a new Chief Barber and angel.
