Dr. Michael Barretti

Former student. Dr. Barretti was pure sunshine. 15 years later I can still hear his laugh, especially at his own jokes. One time a student wandered into our class and he told them they didn´t look familiar. When they left he laughed saying the guy didn´t know he was legally blind. His sense of humor, wit, and kind heart will forever be missed. His legacy lives on in the many lives he´s impacted. I can still hear his favorite line " I´ll eat my degrees if I´m wrong..." .

John and I had the pleasure of being Mike's friend. From having dinner, visiting and making sure he had the perfect orchid for my wedding bouquet. He will truly be missed. We loved Mike. A wonderful man.

I had the pleasure of having Dr. Barretti as a professor at CCC. I took all of my psych classes under him because of his bigger than life personality. I am sorry to hear of his passing.
