I first met Eddie in the fall of 1987 as I had been transferred from Calgary Alberta to Toronto, Ontario. Asking some of my colleagues if they knew of a barber in the area, it was recommended I try the shop diagonally across the street from where I worked. Eddie's easy smile, friendly manner and his wonderfully skilled hands made the decision to stay with him easy. Even after I retired nine years ago, I still made the almost hour trek each way to have him as my barber. His caring attitude towards his clients was evident and for the best part of 30 years, he was my barber, and a friend.
