I always enjoyed my conversations with Mr. Barrett, even as he sat in my dental chair with his mouth full of gauze!! He was a wonderful and very entertaining man. I'm sure he will be sorely missed. I pray you find comfort in your fond and loving memories of him.

With my deepest sympathy, Lita Ristuccia,
