Growing up next to the DiTullios in Braintree, they were not just neighbors, but family. Bob is one of the funniest people I have ever met in my life. He can tell you a joke every day, and will never repeat one. Thoughts and prayers to Gregg, Gary, and family.

Bob not only a great barber but a great person. Customer and friend for 60 years, he will be missed. R.I.P. Bob.

He really was a great barber. He always had great jokes or said funny things so I was always glad to go in there and get my haircut. One time I forgot to bring $$ with me after he had cut it. He let me go home, get my $$ and come back and pay him. Nobody would let you do that today. He will be missed.
