Thank you, Ernie Pappas, for the fond memory. I remember him talking about growing up with the Pappas family. He really missed his barbering days, and all his customers. From his daughter, Helen

George was exactly the same age as my father Ernie Pappas. They went to school together in Lowell. Visiting George for a haircut would bring back memories of my dad who pre-deceased him.

Sorry for the loss of your father Helen, Nicky and Andrew and Grandchilden, great grandchildren. It has been a difficult 40 years without you all. Just know I am thinking of you and always will. I didn't know your Mother passed away also. Your father was a really nice guy and your mother was a nice woman. Memories from my childhood that will last forever. Pammy Bowen Sheridan
