Dr. Barcak was a good teacher of mine. He spent much of his valuable times for me so that I understand everything clearly. I will never forget him.

I am sorry to hear of your loss.
Dr. Barcak was a dad we were always glad to see at Hillcrest, always positive, upbeat, and jolly! I am sorry for his suffering so early in lilfe. My husband and I remember the night we ran into you at Bennigan's, and you treated us to wonderful conversation and dessert! I am teaching at St. Mark and wish I could have attenedd the funeral mass. I looked for you after your luncheon, but you had already gone. May you all find peace and healing, and bright futures for you girls. It is a pleasure to remember your family.

Dr. Salvaterra;
I am so sorry to hear that Dr. Barchad passed away. He was my advisor for my master degree back in 1996. Every time I went back to Baltimore, I thought about visiting him. However the visit were always at the weekend, I never made it. Now I regret that I did not make the efforts to do so.
He is a great man and a good mentor to me. I will remember him always and pray for your family.
Sincerely yours.

Dear Carmen, Kristin & Danielle,
I have wonderful memories of conversations with Dr Barcak about his family and raising teenage girls. I respected Dr. Barcak for his deep devotion to his family and how proud he was to be 'a family man'. My heart goes out to all of you.
