Harry P. Bartocetti

Harry, or as we called him "Herschel" was a great friend and fellow model railroader. We had wonderful times together. He is still very much missed to this day! Rick Abramson

Nettie,
I loved working with Harry as his student, and loved him as a mentor. I guess I met him in the fifties when he played for Terry Signore, but really got to know him at Neighborhood Music School as my teacher. Please remember you have many friends who are thinking of you at this sad time, and we are all missing Harry.

So sorry to hear of Mr. Bartocetti's passing. He was a great teacher.

I am so grateful to Harry for being such a consummate musician. He was my first oboe teacher, 50 years ago, and he patiently and beautifully taught me the art of performing. I loved learning the craft of reedmaking too. When he played duets during some of our lessons, it was a gift. My lifelong love of classical and baroque music was inspired by his brilliant example. His life was a constant blessing to everyone, and I offer my condolences to Nettie and his beloved family.

My heart is so sad to hear of Harry's passing. He was my oboe instructor 25 years ago. I always loved his lessons. My favorite memories are when, during a lesson, he would pick up his oboe and accompany me. As much as I would try to stay on track, I always ended up breaking my embouchure because it sounded so lovely, I couldn't help but smile. Oh- he was so patient! It was a great privilege to have him as my instructor! My condolences to Nettie and the Bartocetti family.

Warm memories and friendship for more than 60 years will become more precious as we gather together to celebrate the life of this special man. My sympathy to the wonderful Bartocetti family.

A great musician, and pillar of the community. He was much loved and respected, and will be sorely missed. RIP my friend and colleague.

Dear Netti, So sad to read about Harry. We send you our sincere condolences. I remember all the oboe lessons our daughter Emily took from Harry. He was a great teacher. He will be remembered by many for a very long time. Our love, David and Joanne Byrne

To Nettie and her family, our deepest sympathies from Christine and me.
Harry was a wonderful friend and an integral part of our model railroad group.
We all enjoyed when Harry invited the "boys" over to have coffee and talk about trains.
Harry, you will be truly missed.
May God grant you eternal peace.
