Pat the Barber

Many of us live in Rye because of the small town feeling you get walking down Purchase Street. And much of that feeling is created by the people that work in and around Purchase Street who we all depend on for various services.

So we were saddened to hear that Pat the barber passed away last week. Pat was a fixture in Frank’s Barbershop, making legions of Rye men and boys look good. While this writer typically sits in Frank’s chair, no one in Frank’s shop could miss overhearing Pat spinning one of his fishing stories.

A mass is planned for this week.
