As many of you may know by now, Jere Henault, proprietor of the antique store and friend passed away unexpectedly a number of weeks ago. His passing was not related to Covid19. Jere was our mentor and operated the Old Post Office Antiques since 1995. The store was a second home for Jere and he often said he would be there until his passing, dragged out feet first. He was working at the store within two weeks of his passing and remained committed to the store to the very end. We will all miss Jere, his sometimes cantankerous and sarcastic humor, his invaluable knowledge and experience and his unflagging love for the antique business. Our condolences go out to Jere's wife Lynn and his son Max. It's been a difficult time for all of us.
Since Jere's passing we've been scrambling to keep the store operating. Our dealers have stepped in to help out and we're in the process of reorganizing the business in order to keep things going. The store at 1178 Putnam Pike has been operated as an antique store without interruption for over 40 years and it is my fervent desire to maintain that tradition for another 40 years.
As some may have noticed, since Jere's passing our store hours have been inconsistent. We hope to stabilize things in the near future such that we can once again maintain consistent hours. Please bear with us during this difficult time and stay tuned.
Thanks to all our patrons for there support and patience! Your passion and patronage make it all possible.
