91-year-old man opens new barbershop, says 'I didn't tell my family'
HORTONVILLE, Wis. (WBAY/CNN Newsource) - They say "do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life." That must be true for one Wisconsin man, because even at 91 years old he's still at it.
Not only is Bob Rohloff still cutting hair, after more than a decade of working in someone else's barbershop, he's once again opening his own.
"Started in 1948. I was in high school," Bob said. "If I ever get the chance, because I've always had my own shop, the right combination comes along, I will start a shop yet. I didn't tell my family or nothing, because I knew they wouldn't agree."
Bob said he tried to retire once when he and his wife lived in Arizona, but that didn't last long.
What he loves most is interacting with customers. Plus, Bob said he doesn't have any arthritis, so why not continue working?
As of now, he's not putting any timeline for how long he's going to keep doing it. He estimates he's given 100,000 haircuts so far.
