(CBS) — Bart Lollino had tears in his eyes last week as he cut hair at his barbershop on Taylor Street, where he had been for 37 years.
He’s been cutting hair even longer, for 53 years.
Lollino started out as a barber as a boy, in Italy, by hanging out in a barbershop.
He sold his current building, in the neighborhood known as Little Italy, and has no choice now but to move on.
Jose Gonzalez was the man whose hair Lollino was cutting.
“I’m going to miss him. He’s like a father to me. I was kind of wild on the streets, and he kind of guided me,” Gonzalez, who’s been coming to Lollino for decades, tells WBBM’s Mike Krauser.
In retirement, Lollino says he’ll enjoy spending time with his family, which includes eight grandchildren.
