Phoenix
Tony was born in Sonora, Arizona on August 4th, 1937, to Jose F. Lara & Refugia Munoz. He spent his childhood in Clifton, Arizona where he met his beloved wife, Clara. They started a family together and eventually moved to Phoenix where Tony pursued his career as a Barber and continued to serve the community as a barber for the next 65 years.
Tony set up shop in several locations across the valley in those 65 years and carried an impressive list of clients who became friends and family. Some were generational clients and most saw Tony for 20 or 30+ years, with his longest client of 50 years.
