They were so nice and so honest. Maria was an amazing woman who loved company. She passed away from Brain Cancer back in June. Armando was always a jokster. he loved to talk about his wife truly loved her. It broke him when she passed away. He always said it was as if part of him died too. he went back to stay with his two sons and grandchildren for a little while. He will be back to visit he said. It is really sad to see this old italian Tailor shop gone. So many memories there were. it was a mom and pop kind of place. They were great! And always did an amazing job!

I recently had a suit done in there by him (maybe a month or two ago), and his wife was there too, so it must have been pretty recent.<br /><br />It is really too bad, and it being replaced by a tanning salon is horrifying.Sonichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07540131829518511126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-7295296954184105962009-11-18T05:14:53.010-08:002009-11-18T05:14:53.010-08:00Jimmy, your note made me terribly sad.

They left us several messages notifying us of the closure and warning us to pick up our items before the last day.<br /><br />When we arrived we asked him about the business and he told us in a somber tone that his wife had passed away and he did not have the energy to run the business without her. He mentioned he was moving back to italy to be with his sons.<br /><br />Jim<br /><a href="http://www.277president.com" rel="nofollow">www.277president.com</a>Jimmy Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16428970205377156383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-20295815504911122942009-11-17T12:44:10.290-08:002009-11-17T12:44:10.290-08:00Ugh.

Hopefully, it can't.Lindsay Robertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07350106316539495562noreply@blogger.com
