I came to work on Thursday to see my phone message light illuminated. I was unprepared for the news on the other end. My beloved hairdresser and friend of four years, John Street, was killed in a motorcycle accident on December 12th. He was 36 years old.
I knew the motorcycle he was driving. It was a bike he'd been working on. Not because he loved motorcycles so much...but because he was a husband and father of four children and wanted his wife to drive the family car.
I had dinner with him a couple of months ago...soon after hair appointment #1. And then I got a text from him sometime in early December...his usual friendly hello. I returned the text but never heard back from him.
John Street was a great friend and a wonderful father. I will miss him so.
The church that John attended with his family has started a fund for his children. If you would like to see his family or make a contribution, here is the link:
