A class act in every sense of the word. He left an indelible footprint on the lives he touched. I have thought of him often through the years since meeting him in Oliver at the Montgomery Little Theater, circa 1969.

My once and future student, Deanne, thought so highly of him tha I have had to reach a similar high opinion of him, even though we met only once, sadly, I must confuss.

I remember him from when I was a cadet at the AF Academy.
I hope you'll be celebrating a life well lived. You can cherish the memories forever.

I had the pleasure of working with Col. Barmettler as a costume designer for Huntingdon Theater, which led my to my later work with a large costume company in Altanta. I will always remember him as a talented, kind and giving individual. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. Ellen Summer Gonzalez

The Maxwell Playhouse was right beside the dining hall. A few nights after the first of the New Year in January 1970 I noticed lights were on at the playhouse. I decided to stop in and when I walked in the door this man came over to me and introduced himself..."Hi I'm Bob Barmettler, welcome.......". It was not until a few...
