Fred Battaglia, 92
May 3,1909 - January 10, 2002
Barber to four Cardinals
Fred Battaglia of East Boston, the barber to four Boston Catholic Cardinals dating back to the 1930's, died of renal failure Thursday January 10th at the Massachusetts General Hospital. He was 92.
A barber from age 20 until his retirement at age 90, he was employed by St. John's Seminary in Brighton at a time when seminarians were restricted to the campus. When Cardinal O'Connor, who resided nearby, asked Fred for a haircut, it marked the start of his service as a personal barber to Cardinal O'Connor, Cardinal Cushing, Cardinal Medeiros, and Cardinal Law. In 1938 Fred was honored to use his tonsorial skills for visiting Cardinal Pacelli, who became Pope Pius XII the following year.
In 1945 he opened a barber shop in Oak Square, Brighton, in which he operated his business until his retirement in 2000. During this period, Fred served three generations of clients, and often provided in-home services to ill customers. His long tenure drew much media attention and was the focus of several television human-interest stories.
Fred was an active member of St.Joseph-St.Lazarus Church in East Boston, where he was a perennial member of the choir and participated in several stage productions including Oklahoma , Our Show of Shows, and Mame. He was an active member of the Holy Name Society, Sons of Italy in America, the Courageous Generation, Don Orione Choir and a 50-year member of the Knights of Columbus 2962.
He leaves his wife, Lena, of East Boston, three sons, Charles of Alexandria, Virginia, Fred of East Sandwich and Joseph of East Bridgewater, in addition to nine grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
A funeral mass will be celebrated by Cardinal Bernard Law at 10:30 a.m. on Monday in St.Joseph-St.Lazarus Church, East Boston.
