Dear Mary and family,
I am so sorry to hear about Barry's passing. I enjoyed all the colorful conversations we had over the years and I feel like even though you are one of our longest serving customers that I've had the privilege of being you and Barry's and the Boys friends as well !!! I remember fondly 28 plus years ago showing up at your house and admiring all the Christmas lights he put out !!!
If there is anything I can do please reach out to me personally and myself and our whole staff here at TELE-PEST,INC. offer our prayers and condolences to you and your family.
