JOHN VINCENT BARRACO

Miss you, John.

Still thinkin´ about you, John! Every time a jazz or jam band plays here (even if I don´t go), when it´s DIY time around the house ... well, a lot of times. Hope you´re making friends wherever you are!

Knew John in college. Interesting guy. His name came up in conversation with a HS chum who was Johns college roommate and Google took me here. Sounds like he had quite the adventurous life. I would expect nothing less.

John was probably my best friend in Santa Fe. I knew him for nearly 40 years and still think about him regularly-most recently when Joshua Redman played at the Lensic Theater here. I didn´t get to go, alas, but I Ishtar not even have known who he was but for John and his love of jazz. Vaya con dios, amigo!

John was a good friend that we met when we taught English together in Taiwan. We visited each other often while we lived in the West but became Christmas card friends in recent years. He was wonderful and one of a kind and is missed. Bob & Sandi Barrett

I still think about John often. I always appreciated that he was one of the easiest people to share things with that I've known. I don't just mean "share" meaning telling people about your feelings, life events or opinions (even if he disagreed with them), but things like shared projects (like working on your house), shared journeys, shared experiences--anything, really. He could be cranky, but he didn't often judge. I miss him.

One of a kind. My condolences to his family.

Gone too soon. A good friend and rewarding companion, we miss him and remember him often.

John was a character. He could be thorny, but he was one of my best friends, the kind whose readiness to share and to help made you want to share with and help him as well. As a result, in his travels he made friends all over the world.
John was known for his frugality, but it was a conscious choice that stretched his limited means to allow him to travel and live as he wanted; and to others he was often generous. That generosity showed in his career choices, which almost always saw him...
