BARRY M. BOGRAD

remembering Barry today

A dear friend I new up as a friend in Lowell Avenue in Newtonville, Massachusetts

Elaine, We are so very sorry to hear about Barry's passing.
Having grown up in Newtonville, and living two homes away from our home on Lowell Avenue, we played in the sandbox as youngsters, attended the Newton Public Schools together, and participated in many of the sports and the activities offered.
From day one, Barry has always been very kind, and very generous --- actively contributing his time and his talents for so many organizations.
Rest in peace Barry. You will be...

I just wanted to say how much Mr. Bograd meant to me as young Pop Warner player in Framingham. He spent so much time and energy making the experience so special. I remember how nice he was to us. He even announced our games on the local cable channel. It was such a great experience to watch our football games being replayed on the channel. This was the late 70's and early 80's so it was so unique. Even as a young kid, I could appreciate what Mr. Bograd did for us and the community. He was so...

To the Bograd family, I am so sorry to hear that your father has passed away! I played Pop Warner football back in the late 1970's, and though Mr. Bograd was not my coach, he and I became friendly anyway. I always admired his enthusiasm and passion for coaching Framingham kids the game of football. Even after I moved out of Framingham long ago, I always remembered Mr. Bograd as a wonderful and friendly man!

I was sad to hear of Barry's passing. He was such a special person.
My connection with him is different than all the others. My parents bought Barry's childhood home in Newtonville from Barry's parents. For years whenever we went down to the raw, cement walled basement I would see painted on the wall in bright gold "Barry Bograd".
Many years later I married and we settled in Framingham and I saw his name in the paper, but never did anything about it. One day I was at Victory...

I just found out about Barry's passing. He was a great friend..always upbeat when we covered Framingham North and Framingham South football games on cable. The only time he got a little crazy was when your son intercepted a pass and returned it in to the end zone..He was a little wound up when the officials turned it back...that was in 1986....I wish I knew he was sent up to heaven ..a great guy/ a rock solid friend.

Sorry for your loss Elaine and your family's as...

What a great guy! Elaine and boys, Kathy and I were out of the area and missed hearing of Barry's passing. We are so saddened. He was a legend. I think of our old youth soccer days with Fram. United.

Rest in Peace, Barry
You did it all.

Barry brought a great deal of joy and happiness to all who knew him. He was a friend, colleague, advisor and a man of many talents. We will all miss his wonderful stories and love of life. May his memories bring comfort and peace to his family.
