I missed Tim When He left Pittsfield a few years ago. He always made me laugh while I was cutting his hair. He would poke fun of my dad for this and that, and my dad would poke back. (all in good fun). He LOVED his clean cut and a shave. We will miss you at the Royal Barber Service. Thank you for all the great memories!
