Not sure what to say?

It took me a while to wright this, but I'm missing Barry. I worked with him at the office. I kept thinking he would walk though the door asking me to do something for him or he was on vacation and was coming back. I thought of him like a Dad to me. It's different now. Barry's advice will help us get through life and keep moving forward. Thanks for everything.

We are so very sad to recently hear about the passing of our long time friend, Barry. We wish to extend our sincerest sympathy to Shirley and her family.

Dear Raff Family, we extend our deepest sympathies on the passing of Dr. Raff.

Over the past 30 years, we've grown to think of Dr. Raff not only as our dentist, but as our friend. We've shared the loss of parents and the blessings of grandchildren. We even shared the same birthday. He was always quick to point out he was a few years older; I would respond that made him so much wiser; which he was.

Dr. Raff was truly an exceptional man in his abilities as a dentist and in his...

Dear Mrs. Raff and Family:
The Guzikowski family is truly saddened to learn of the death of Dr. Raff. Barrett cared for us for more than twenty five years. It was an honor to know him. His care and compassion were beyond measure. We valued him as our friend. We will miss him dearly. There are so many people whose lives he enriched. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Bob, Karen and Emma Guzikowski

To Dr. Raff's family and wonderful staff, we have just now learned of the passing of this incredible man. I first new him as a patient in the practice I worked for, then as his patient for many years. He was beyond being our family dentist, he was our friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with Shirley, Robin, Kevin and the grandchildren, as well as his loving and devoted staff.

Shirley, Robin, and Kevin - Barry is such a special person. His caring, his genuine love of people, his sense of humor, and his willingness to give of himself to help others is his legacy. All of you are stronger because of his love for you and the example he set in both his professional as well as his private life. While he will never be far from your thoughts and hearts, I know he has done things to also build his memory with his precious grandchildren. He spoke of them often with a...

I am only one of Dr. Raff's many patients who knew how special he was. When I moved to Florida, after more than twenty five years under his care, I had to go to a new dentist. After he finished examining me, he told me that it was obvious that I had had excellent dental care. I always wanted to tell Dr. Raff that. We will all miss him.

Shirley, I am deeply saddened to hear of your loss of Barrett. May loving memories of your life together uplift and strengthen you.

Barrett always looked out for my tiny little troubled teeth. A great man who will be truly be missed. So easy to get riled up about anything from the weather to basketball (especially if you were on the wrong side of the knicks on that particular day) He will be missed in many ways, most of witch I didn't know him well enough to appreciate.
