I was sorry to hear of Mr Barlow's passing. I transported him numerous times with EMT, Inc. My partner and I once said that he looked like he might have played football and were suprised to find out he had played with The Patriots. Though he often seemed gruff, he was an okay guy and interesting to talk to.
