NORFOLK - Gustavo (Gus) Meloni, 60, operator of the barber shop at the Lafayette 
Yacht Club and long active in Norfolk sports circles, died early today at De 
Paul Hospital.
A native of Mosciano, Italy, near Rome, Mr. Meloni had been a resident of

Meloni.
He began his work as a barber with his father at the Monticello Hotel Barber 
Shop. He was associated for many years with the Auditorium Barber Shop on Granby 
Street, opposite the post office. He took over the yacht club barber shop when 
it opened July 20, 1960. His barber shop customers, through the years, learned 
much about baseball through their talks while in the chair of one of Norfolk’s 
most ardent Yankee fans. He was known as the man who talked baseball and played 
golf. He made many talks before Norfolk organizations, stressing sports.
He was a member of Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church and of its Holy Name 
Society. He was the husband of Mrs. Grace Locascio Meloni, with whom he took a 
trip to his home in Italy, in 1959.
