I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Barrett's passing. He and Mrs. Barrett were always so nice to us when we stationed the whole family in front of their house on the Fourth of July! He was a lovely man. My best to the Barrett family and Mrs. Barrett.

Mike, Paula, and the rest of the Barrett family. Tracy and I are sad to hear of your Dad's passing. His smile and laugh were infectious. He was one of the most welcoming people I've ever known. Whether it was July 4th celebrations on the front porch, a day at the beach at the condo, or just a bunch of goofy teenagers crashing his house on a weekend night, he always made everyone feel at home. You are all in our prayers.

Chris, thank you for being who you were; a great friend, with a ready smile, a funny joke and who always loved a good time with friends. We will miss you forever.
