Hey My Brother,
It's so hard to believe you have been gone for 4 years. We just got through another Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Eve without you. Not a minute went by that I didn't think of you. Fighting over Moms suffing on Thanksiving, laughing and drinking on Christmas Eve, awesome gift trading on Christmas, and partying like Rock Stars on NEW YEARS EVE...I still miss those New Years phone calls, you were ALWAYS the first to call me no matter where you were...
Alot hs happened in the last few years...
We moved again, Hailey started elementary school, Meghan will be starting school in September (geez....
We all miss you and love you...Hailey talks of you so often and Meghan looks at your picture all the time.
There are so many people with you now, but I cant help wishing you were here with us.
I miss your smile, your laugh, your jokes and your great cooking...You were supposed to leave that cookbook behind by the way !!!!!
Happy New Yeaar Pudge, give my love to all with you. Visit when you can...
Love You Forever and a Day Your Sister, Donna

Well My Loving Brother, it has been a year today that you left us and the hurt, pain, and emptiness that I felt a year ago has not gotten any easier at all....You have made such an impression not only on my life but so many and it is hard to imagine going on without you...Your son Christopher is getting married to LeeAnn next year and you would be so proud of what a wonderful man he has turned out to be and Brian has moved into the old house and has also become quite the man himself. Your nieces Hailey and Meghan are getting so big so fast, Hailey speaks of you often, and she is going to be the Flowergirl in Chris' wedding, how awesome is that?!!!!!
She is in nursery school now and smart as a whip. Meghan will be a year old next week already, where does the time go?
Gary I miss you soooo... much that it hurts. I'm not sure I've accepted the fact that your gone, I'm not sure I ever will. I know we will be together again someday, but oh how I wish you were here. Mom and Dad miss you so much, we all do it just doesn't seem fair that we have to go on without you...I know you are in a bretter place and I'm sure you are happier than ever and no longer in pain. I Love You Gary and I Always will. I will miss you until we are together again. Visit when you can you're welcomed anytime. I'm buying rhis book and not sure how much longer I will be able to write here, but maybe I can continue once I receive the book. Know that I think of you every single day and miss you so...Until we meet again, I LOVE YOU PUDGE...

Hey Uncle Gary!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I wanted to write to you and let you know that on this day (Feb. 14th) I have thought about you. I think about you all the time Uncle Gary. It's still hard to believe that you are not physically here, but spiritually I know that you are always here. I know you are always watching over us. I hope you are up there in Heaven celebrating big, because I know you would be down here. I love and miss you Uncle Gary!!! Again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY Uncle Gary!!!

Dear Friend, I called the office today to speak to you about that visit you promised Michelle and myself. How very sad we are that our friend will not be visiting with that great smile, that great humor and wit, and that new joke to make us laugh. Everyone who knew you, loved you and cherished your sincere friendship. Rest in peace and know that you will be remembered and very missed. "Who's your Daddy?"
Fondly, Melinda and Michelle Vitale

Although I didn't get a chance to spend much time with Gary, I can tell you that he was larger than life ... He had a way of filling a room with his presence. You ALWAYS knew when Gary was around and he will be sorely missed! I'm sure he's already putting "deals" together up in Heaven. God Bless

Well Uncle Gary, I wanted to write to you because I miss you a ton. I thought of you a lot today because I had to finish writing a paper. My paper was about family and you were what ran through my head. I decided to dedicate my paper to you because I know that even though you are not able to physically be with me that spiritually you are always watching over me. I know we did not see each other much, and that I had not seen you in seven years. I feel horrible about that, but it does not mean I did not love you. You were a great uncle and I loved you a lot. You were one uncle I wanted my boyfriend Joe to meet(you would love him Uncle Gary, he is the sweetest thing ever and treats me right). I knew he could learn a lot from you(like your jokes and sarcasm). I am proud to say that I will always remember your jokes and will always carry on with the sarcasm. I will see you again, and when I do I plan on giving you a great big hug. I love and miss you more than anything. I am proud to say that you are my uncle. When I look up in the sky I will look for the brightest star and I will know that it is you. I love you Uncle Gary.
Love Always and Forever Your Niece,
*~*Kimberly A. Barrett*~*

Wow. The news hit us like a ton of bricks. Gary was one of the funniest people we knew and always made us laugh 'til it hurt. His zest for life was contagious and he made everybody around him feel good. It's been many years since we've seen him, but we will remember him always.

Well Pudge, you can certainly pack out a room and that was only the first night. You were so loved by everyone and will be missed more than you probably gave yourself credit for. I feel so empty knowing I won't hear your laugh or see your smile or hear you yell at me for something. Most of all I will miss just knowing that you were always here. I love you so very, very much and I promise as soon as Meghan is born you and I will do our shot together...I Love You Gary, God Bless Your Soul and I'll see you when I see you. Heaven is lucky to have you.
Your Sister Donna (the original Pudgy)

I was reading the Obituary page and when I saw Gary Barrett's name, I was in shock. Gary and I worked together in Printing from 1994-1990. My wife and I would sometimes go visit Gary at the Gang Plank where he tended bar on the weekend. We always had plenty of laughs and a great time with Gary. He was also a terrific cook. A truly wonderful and generous human being who will be missed by all. He would never refuse a favor to anyone in need. God bless you Gary. I'm going to miss you Pal. I know you will cook a great meal for God. My condolences to Gary's entire family.
