To The Barrett Family: Was sorry to hear of the passing of Mick. I worked with him at B&L Motor Freight until he retired. He was an easy going gentleman and we always had fun with him. Boonie Ankrum and Mick were pretty close with each other when they drove there as I dispatched both of them. You have my deepest sympathy at this very difficult time. May GOD comfort the family at this time. Ralph Howard, Jr

I used to work at the Chestnut House and LOVED going in to see Maurice!! He was such a sweet man and would always give me a piece of candy to take with me when I left. I was so sorry to hear of his passing, may he rest in peace.

So sorry to hear about Maurice's passing. Mom, Susan and I started visiting Maurice at the care facility last year. Our grandfather, Robert Barrett, was his brother. Our visits were quite enjoyable. Maurice would tell us stories of his family and war times. We brought pictures for him to look at under his magnifier. We really loved visiting him. He will be missed.
