Christian Barbato

I knew Chris from back in the day. I knew him for years. I met him through Joe Simons. I'm sadden by his loss, but the memories of him will forever be in my mind.
Love and Prayers

This world lost a man with one of the largest hearts whom I've been lucky enough to meet. Travel well my good friend and I look forward to meeting you on the other side some day. My prayers are with you Missy and Missy.

Chris, you are one hell of a fighter and the shipyard will remember you as a legend. God Bless You & Your Family!

I knew Chris and liked him. My sincere sympathy to the family.

To Missy, Misty, Mamaw,Bo, Julia and Roy,
I am so sorry about the loss of Chris. He was like a brother to me and you guys are family to me. I will always remember the good times Chris and I had. Be strong in these times of sorrow. I will keep in touch.

Although I haven't seen or talked with Chris for years the memory of his and Julie's friendship is one that I will hold on to all of my life.We were merchant seaman together but good friends long before that. My heartfelt sympathy to his family.I hope God will ease your pain of his passing.He was a good friend and a great guy and I am saddened just knowing he's gone.

Chris was one of the first friends I made after moving to Norfolk in 1969, and to say we had some good times together is a real understatement. I know how much family meant to him, and my condolences to them all.

Our prayers are with you and your family.

To the Barbato family my prayers and sympathy are extended to you. I will always miss Chris we shared some very good times together.
