Eric Gordon Winter Barradale

I was just talking about Dr. Barradale, my childhood dentist this week. My officemates and I were discussing dentists, and I was relaying to them how much I loved the dentist when I was young. Dr. Barradale was always so friendly, he would smile and talk reassuringly about everything he was doing as he did it. You could also watch along in the reflection of his glasses. He also wore bowties, which I never saw on anyone else growing up. I also remember after each visit I was rewarded with an...

I had the pleasure to work with Eric at the Retreat as he volunteered his dentistry services to the patients and to the residents of Linden Lodge. I also was introduced to his x-country ski trails through the Conservation Commission of Guilford and their many outings in Guilford. Most of all, his integrity, his stamina and his trademark bowtie will always stick with me, as well as his contribution to the Guilford Historical Society, being one of it's founding fathers. Will will strive to keep...

Dr. Barradale was our first dentist for my sister and I and maybe for our big brothers, too. I remember his little white grin beaming down at me and watching the reflection of my wide open mouth in his glasses. He was always businesslike and knew how to make a squirmy , anxious kid sit still with his "bunny tail polishing brush" and other a little less scary names for the various tools he plied. Later on when my own daughter was about three, he pulled out a card and read that "child is...

The bow tie. I'm so thankful Dr. Barradale was my first dentist. Kind, careful, great sense of humor and style.

What a wonderful photo and obituary. I met Eric and Joan only a handful of times, though I've been in close touch with Joan for a number of years through the wonders of email. Dartmouth was the linchpin between Eric and Joan and my parents, Dave and Grace Nutt. And I know both my parents treasured their mutual visits to Hanover for class of '44 meetings -- probably less so for the actual meetings, than to reminisce on the porch of the Hanover Inn, imbibe a drink or two and enjoy each...

A good friend and with his love of nature and natural health, an inspiration to us who knew and admired him. We met through Steve and Janet Greene and with them I was drawn into x-country skiing and enjoyed the George Washington X-C Ski Race year after year. He wasalso the best dentist I ever had. I know he touched the lives of thousands of us in Guilford and Windham County over the last 100 years. I hoped he would live love like his aunt, whose beautiful house, his childhood home, I lived in...

I worked hard with Dad for many years to make the property look the way he wanted it, remove weeds, Juniper Bushes and thorns and thistles. He loved the place, and so do I.
