Shocking news indeed, Jeff.  I know the family well, having lived across the street(Winterton) from Paul's brother Chester and his family for many years, though hadn't heard of this development.

Paul is a local dignitary in my eyes, having served the community from his barber chair for so many years.  However, he took no accolades, even when KDKA did a feature on him last summer.

Ciao Uncle Paul, you're be sorely missed!

Subject: Pirollo Barber Shop Has Closed

Neighbors, the unthinkable but inevitable has happened. Paul Pirollo has retired and closed his barber shop on Sheridan Avenue. He is 91, and due to age and health concerns, this decision was unavoidable.

For those who don't know Paul, he emigrated from Italy following WWII, and is a Korean War veteran, himself. He has cut hair in East Liberty (because at the time, it was impossible to rent a place in the hotbed of commerce, Larimer Avenue) for more than half a century.

Paul would like all of his friends, neighbors, and customers to know that he thanks you, and sincerely appreciates you.
