Iggy and I were members of the same championship football team in the late 1940's at Riverside Military Academy at Gainesville Georgia.
He was an inspirational team leader, a great player and a good friend. We all held Iggy in great respect.

It seems that he led the good life he deserved after high school. I will miss Iggy.

My deepest sympathy for your loss. Nash was always so happy and kind. It was a real pleasure working with him at the LRA. It was always nice seeing Nash & Laura at Nash Jr.'s restaurant in Broussard whenever we evacuated for hurricanes. God bless you and all your family. Yours truly, Wendy Alciatore Rogers & Rocky, Melanie & Justin

God Bless the Barreca family during this difficult time. Nash was a Great Captain!

He will be truly missed by all!!!

Dear Laura, Lisa, David and family,
We were sorry to hear of Nash's death. He was a friend even though we did not know him that well. I enjoyed swapping stories with him at McDonalds after masses.
May God bless all of you, keep you well and strong and free from all harm.

Best wishes,
Ray, Bonnie, and Greg Eiffert.

P. S. We regret that we were not able to make it to St. Angela on the 23rd.

God Bless the Barreca family. love Melanie Chauvin Fouchi

We were sorry to hear of Nash's passing and regret that we found out the day after his burial. By viewing the pictures online, we know that he had a wonderful life here on earth. Our thoughts and prayers are with Laura and the family.

Joe, Joy, and other family and friends of Nash Barreca. We are sorry for your loss. May his soul rest in peace with Our Lord Jesus! Roy and Linda Bowes

Steve and Nash,
I was a teacher at DeLaSalle while you were there. I remember so many kindnesses from your father both personal and to the Cavaliers.

You have followed in your father's footsteps with similar kindnesses, especially to Archbishop Rummel High School. Such a father, such a son. What a great legacy of Christian kindness.

Christ will similarly be kind to your father and to you.

I greatly regret not being at the funeral today.

On behalf of the members of E.D. White council Knights of Columbus, I offer our sincere condolences to your family. Nash was a charter member of our council and was an inspiration to many over the years. He will be greatly missed. He invited me to make my first retreat to Manresa when I joined the council 15 years ago and I have been going back annually. I will miss the gatherings at his home before the retreat and the many stories he told on the ride to Manresa. I'm amazed that he was able to stay quiet for 3 days during the silent retreat!
Nash will be very qualified for his new job as heaven's bellringer.
John Capretto, PGK

I will miss you pawpaw. You were an inspiration to myself and many. As a kid running around the steak house, you taught me how to make a Shirley Temple, and as an adult, doing my best bartender impersonation at Barrecas, you taught me how to make the perfect Old Fashion. You were known and respected by many. You gave meaning to the name "Barreca". I love you, and miss you. Kiss Kaitlynn for all of us!

My wife and I are sorry to hear of Mr. Barreca's passing. He was always so kind to everyone and loved to share his knowledge of all the things he knew so well. He will be greatly missed by us and everyone.

Mrs. Laura, I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Nash's passing. I have been apart of your daily lives for so many years that it will be so difficult to pass and not see that bright smile, the cheering wave, the hello or the quick story or two. Seeing you both together and the love you shared was such an inspiration. I only hope that my husband and I are blessed with many anniversarys and a wonderful family like you and Mr. Nash have shared. All my prayers with you and your family at this difficult time.

Lisa,

I am so very sorry to hear about the passing away of your beloved Father, Nash. He will be missed, but never forgotten by You and the Ones that loved him most. You have my heartfelt sympathy in the loss of someone so very special to you. God bless you and your family.

My sympathy to all of the family. Due to classes, I am not able to be with you for the funeral, but I will be with you all in prayer and spirit.
Besides knowing the family through teaching at De La Salle and esp. with "Nash" on the wrestling team, I have so many fond memories of your father's kindnesses to the faculty and staff of DLS, hosting so many dinners and end-of the year gatherings. He was always so generous and kind to us and served only the "best". All of you have great memories of a wonderful father and an upright Christian man who practiced his Faith so openly and lived what he believed.
I will miss seeing you all at the funeral but will be there in spirit.
With gratitude to a great man, I remain, your friend, Dr. Warren Caire

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. Keeping his memories alive help to ease the sadness. God Bless you and the family.

Some of my fondest childhood memories were at freret events. You will be truly missed Mr. Nash.

Our most sincere condolences on Nash's passing. He was certainly one of the "Grand Men" of Carnival. We will all keep him in our thoughts and prayers. - The Captain, Officers, and Krewe of The Knights of Sparta

I lived uptown from 1976 to 1985 and one of our favorite resturants was Franks's Steakhouse. We always appreciated Nash's welcome smile (and great food). NICE MAN!!!! Always optomistic and happy!

So sorry to hear of Nash's passing. My husband, David, and I rode in the Krewe of Freret for many years. Nash made those memories for us that will last a life time. God Bless him and his family.

Mrs. Barreca and family - Please accept my deepest sympathy. I hope the many wonderful memories you have of Mr. Barreca will give you comfort during this difficult time. My prayers are with you.

My deepest condolences for your loss and many prayers that God will bring His comfort to your hearts in the midst of your pain. I'll never forget the first evening on my first trip to New Orleans, when Nash and his wife welcomed me and friends into his home for a crawfish dinner bash and treated us like royalty. And what stories about his life he could tell. They - and he - were a treasure.

Nash was the respected and always loved head of this great family that is always in our thoughts and prayers. Nash is remembered for his genuine friendliness and his concern for others. He was a leader and role model for his family. We have him in our thoughts and prayers from this day forward.
