'God bless you Dr. Barrall, for all your kindness, your support and understanding. My 'little redhead- now is 48 years old! I became a major in the army, a director of nursing and now at 72 years old, I have retired from 40 years in nursing. I still remember your kind smile and kind ways. You were always very special to me and I am forever grateful for the great blessing of the honor to have known you. The world is a much better place for you having walked in your footsteps on this earth.

Second to none, NEVER forgotten...Thank-you!

Today marks the 28th year that Dr. Barrall delivered my son and with a heavy heart, I couldn't help but to remember Dr. Barrall. I absolutely loved, trusted and adored Dr. Barrall for all the qualities anyone who knew him came to know. I am extremely grateful that his guestbook remains open so that we may continue to pay tribute to such an amazing man. I still have his picture with my Evan on my refrigerator and miss him dearly. Thank-you David, Blessings to the family.

I remember the Barrall family from Morris NY when they live across the street. Dr. Barrall delivered two of my siblings. As children we played together. His mother and father-in-law (CeCe and Pop Pop)were my godparents. We were sad to see them move. My sympathy to the family.

I remember my Uncle John evertime I look at my watch. Just below is the a large birthmark faded with time. Uncle John was also the Doctor who delivered me. I cherish his memory especially the way he always treated my Grandmother Mary Lawry. I would be remiss if I did not mention how much I appreciated my Aunt Betty who always opened her home to my wife and I. Love always Brad

To the Barrall Family,
I am truely sorry for your loss. Dr. Barrall was a great Doctor, a very caring man. I remember moving here from Massachusetts and being very nervous. Dr. Barrall was my first GYN Doctor here in RI. Because of his demener, he made office visits more bearable. I was truely saddened when he told me he was retiring. Where would I find another Doctor like him. Again my heartfelt sympathy to the entire family.

My sincere sympathy to the Barrall family. I met Dr Barrall at Rhode Island Hospital before he went into private practice over 35 years ago. When I saw him for the first time in his office on Waterman St. he was as excited as I was that I had finally become pregnant. He delivered my two daughters in 1966 and 1967. He always made me feel special because I was one of his first patients. I was sad when he told me he was retiring, but very happy that he would have more time with his family,...

Dr. Barrall was my favorite doctor. He delivered my son Nicholas the day after his son graduated in 1981. He said to me "try not to go into labor on my sons graduation!". My mother was one of Dr. Barralls' first patients when he started out with Dr. Turner. He stayed with her through the night while she was in the hospital with a very bad infection. She loved him and so do I. I will never forget what a wonderful man he was. He will be remembered in my prayers as well as all of his...

Dr. Barrall delivered all four of our children, 1976, 1978, 1982, and 1985. In September 1978, after the birth of our daughter, Jennifer, we gave him two photographs capturing his participation in her delivery and birth. He beautifully mounted and framed the photographs and proudly hung them in one of his office examining rooms. We were honored and blessed to be a part of his life. He returned the framed photographs to us after he retired...we shall always remember him fondly. Our prayers to...
