Frank W. Barcy

I'll remember Frank's love of singing and his always joyful spirit.

Although I didn´t know Frank from his time with the Lyric Opera, I certainly did know him during his lengthy tenures with both the William Ferris Chorale and Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, where his powerhouse and musically astute bass voice provided the foundation of those ensembles for many, many seasons. On a par with his musicianship was the ready smile, laughter, and collegiality, and Frank was so welcoming to me when I came to Mt. Carmel to apprentice with Bill Ferris back in the late 80's. May he now sing with the choirs of angels in heaven.

Our hearts go out to Janice and family at this time. We´re so sad to learn Frank passed on. He was a wonderful friend and neighbor to us, always stopping to have a chat, and sharing red wines with me. I´ll forever link our good fortune being close neighbors and our love of classic music & Italian food.
Rest In Peace Frank.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
