I would like to extend my deepest sympathy and condolences to the Barbieri family. Coach was a mentor and friend to me. I think of him and all the life lessons he shared with me all the time. I valued him as a coach but more as the friend he became. A wise man with a kind heart, I am a better person because if his influence. Rest easy coach...you´ve earned it.

I'm so sorry to hear of Bobby's passing. I remember growing up, hearing about what a great football player, then coach he was. I know he was a great family man, with a beautiful wife and family. I'm sorry I will be unable to attend the services, but I will keep Bobby in my prayers.
