Not sure what to say?

I didn't nave much but was told Rich might help me. What a wonderful man and expert in wroughtiron. I contacted a feloow in Springfield and was told what I wanted would be 1100$, Didn't have the money and went to see Rich . For $400 he made shutters beyond belief with roses, curls, s curves and more . What a great guy. He treated me with respect (a woman on my own) and gave me such a fair price. A stellar guy!! Hoping he is given love in heaven.

"Barney" was a good friend during our high school years and our teenage years growing up in Holyoke. He was always such a gentleman. Our condolences go out to Carol and the rest of his family. Hope you have a nice shiny `61 Corvette in heaven, dear friend.

I met Dick a long time ago when he lived in Hatfield. I wanted to buy his black 1961 Corvette, he moved but I was still in contact with him. He was always a square shooter, and I admired him. It was a blow when his friend Dave Dennis was killed. Well, they will be back together again. Rest In Peace, Richard Barnaby.

Rich and I go back many years first met in hockey but my wife new Janet and Rich from school jean graduated from Holyoke high together will miss him

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Rich was a good friend for over 65 years and was best man at my wedding. We joined the Navy together and he always regretted his medical discharge. He was truly the "Last of the Good Guys". His was a life well lived and he fought to the end. I am proud to have had him as a friend.

Barney, besides a birthday, we shared a lot of great memories from our teenage years in Holyoke. You are one of the nicest persons I've ever known and I'm so proud to call you a friend. Carole, my condolences to you and your family. We go back a long ways ... I remember your 16th birthday party. You are a strong person and I know you will be OK. It made me feel good when you and Rich got together.

Rich was more than a friend...he was like a brother to Bill. They had so many shared interests, especially motorcycles and Corvettes! We hold dear to us the memories of shared times on their Harleys, in their Corvettes and on vacations together! RIP dear friend

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
