My condolences to the entire Cuvo family.
John was a gentleman and friend over the many years that I was a client.
Monthly haircut appointments were more like a visit to catch-up on events with an old friend.
He will truly be missed.

Dear Kelly and Family,
I will always miss my monthly Saturday morning appointment with John as he always had a kind word and a special way to make you smile no matter what was going on.
From the first time years ago that I came in for a haircut it was easy to see the love you two had for each other and how well you worked along side each other.
May God bless and wrap his arms around your entire family during this difficult time of mourning. My heart and thoughts are with you.

Your dad always made me smile, I believe he had that effect on a lot of people. Your family has always treated me like a part of it, I feel a sincere loss for your dad, anyone could see his overwhelming love for all of you and the pride he took in his family. He sure raised a great bunch of kids(along w/your mom of course) well I think there will be heck of a barber shop in heaven. He will be truly missed. My love and prayers to all of you. Don’t hesitate to call if there is anything we can do. Xoxo

So sorry to hear about Mr. Cuvo. It has been many years, but I will never forget the friendly barber from the neighborhood. My Dad (Earl) just happened to be home for a visit and was able to attend the service. My prayers go out to your family.
