I am very, very sorry to hear that Funzi has left us.
I grew up in West Berlin and knew Funzi, and the entire Caporelli family, my entire life. They lived two blocks down the street.
Funzi's Barber Shop, like Rizzi's, Melvin's, Nardi's, and DeRogatis', was a West Berlin landmarks.
Funzi gave my son, Keith, his very first haircut. Keith will be 44 in July. How ironic, that years later Keith would play cards with Funzi at the West Berlin Bocce club.
I have moved from the area and I deeply regret that I am unable to personally convey my condolences and deepest regrets to the Caporelli family and I hope that they understand.
I want the Caporelli family to know that I am thinking about them and I pray that God will comfort them in this time of deep sorrow.
