I was sad to hear that John the barber/owner at Hair Line (near the Lord Haig) passed away on Feb 14th. He was a gentleman and a link to the Hertford of old.

That is indeed sad. Known John for many years and agree with the sentiments expressed above

First post here from me. My eldest son brought this to my attention. I used to use John regularly until a few years ago, and was sorry to hear of his passing. Has anyone got a link to a news item in The Mercury by any chance?

Sad to hear this. I went in here when I first moved to Hertford. Seemed like a lovely bloke.

Very sad to confirm the news. There was an announcement in the family notices section of this week's Mercury, and a notice in the door of Hairline 2: "Sadly John passed away in QE2 hospital on Sun 14th Feb. Thank you to everyone who has supported him and sent good wishes to us. John's funeral will take place on Fri 5th March at Harwood Park Crematorium, Stevenage, at 2pm."
