Not sure what to say?

We still miss you Barrett....
You were full of life and cared for your family and friends in many kind ways.
Always in our hearts
Lou and Don

I am sorry to hear about Barrett's passing I many memories from childhood of him.
I still remember the day when your family moved into the house on McKinely Street.
I was lucky enough to spend a fair amount of time with your family. I was sad when opportunities moved you from St. Paul to St. Cloud. We tried to keep in touch but as time went on we lost touch.
Your family crossed my mind many times since. Then by chance Barrett and Cindy ended up in my line for a flu...

I new Barrett mainly from the YMCA and Golds, as he was in a group of racquetball players who played doubles on a regular basis. He was always a great sport on and off the court. It has been two years since he has been able to play. I will miss his positive outlook. I have been blessed to know him. Tim Mackey

Barrett was truly a great leader and mentor. The one strength that sticks out in my mind was his ability to ask the right questions and then listen to my answer. He steered me away from my first business deal, that at the time I thought was the wrong decision and later found out his advice was right on. Later I used him on several deals and found his advice sound, accurate, deliberate – this always helped me sleep at night.
I was fortunate to know him outside of business as well. ...

Laura and family, We are so sorry for your loss. Our family is holding yours up in prayer - may you experience peace and healing in the times ahead.

Dear Cindy and Family,
It has been a long time since our connections in St. Cloud, but your family is remembered with fondness. Sincerely, Joanne

Cindy and family,

Words escape me, but memories are vivid ... a freshman law school party when Barrett showed up in those awful leather pants, escorting Barrett around town when he came to interview with Rinke-Noonan, the midnight dash across Pipestone Lake with a bleeding daughter ... I regret that we haven't stayed in touch over the years. I also regret that we can't be there since we're now in Chicago. Much water has splashed over the rocks in the stream. You're in our...

So sorry to hear of the passing of Barrett. One of our great memories of him is how he helped with the adoption of our daughter and the joy he shared with us. We will be miss him.

Colombo's: Sorry for your loss. He will be missed at many levels of St Cloud society. John and Carol Collier
