Russell W. Barber

To all of the Barbers, Russell was such a wonderful neighbor to all of us Sottile’s. He was so good to George Sr. We heartbroken for all of you.

To Judy and family,
Since we moved here in 1994, Russ has been such active, positive, and productive force in the neighborhood that it's hard to believe he's gone. Until last year, he had been plowing the street since 1966! In addition to that, I'm pretty sure that he had helped out virtually every household here in one way or another including mowing the association property on a regular basis. I had worked with Russ a number of times on various projects. He helped me build a common...

Dear Judy and family,
I was saddened to hear of Russell's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. He was such a wonderful man. I would laugh at all the things he did at the DMV when my mom worked there with him. Of Course, the funniest things would be his calling card that he would leave in my yard to let me know he had come over to visit, the empty coffee cup on the trash can:) He will be missed by so many for his sense of humor and funny things that he would do. A true...

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Russ was an amazing person and an anchor to the neighborhood we moved into 21 years ago. He was always there to lend a helping hand and had invaluable advice.

My husband Gerry and I knew Russell from way back - it was summer of 1946 and I played softball with lots of the GLP boys down on the sports field. Then, there were also many good times on the beach. Russell was one of the few kids who lived year-round at GLP, and so he looked forward to having the summer kids show up, as he was so sociable and always lots of fun. Time passed; Gerry and I got married and raised our 4 kids, and were transferred a few times by the Telephone Co.. High...

Dear Judy and Family,
There is so much to say about Russ. He taught me and advised me, and built things that I use. He was always ready to help me and Bunny and the Fishtown/Little Gull Community. Russ was a fine and ingenious craftsman, and his sense of both beauty and humor are reflected in his immaculate house and grounds. He told me jokes and stories that stick with me. Bunny greatly valued his input. “What would Russell say?” she’d ask.
With deep sympathy, Bunny and Jim...

So very sorry for your loss thoughts and prayers are with you all

I am flooded with memories of Russell and my Dad, Antonio Salguero. We grew up next to the Barbers, and I well remember the visits in their sunroom with my own children. Russell was kind, decent, funny and supportive. He never hesitated to help out with any project, no matter what my dad started. My heart goes out to the entire Barber clan.
