To the family Of Tom Barbera, I am so very sorry for your loss.. He was a great guy. I knew your mom Rochelle most of my life. She was my maid of honor on Nov 25, 1950. She was also God -mother to my oldest son Steven on Sept 1951. I also knew you dad quite well, I met him when I was working at PolyTech University. We stayed good friends, My Maiden name was also Barber, that's how we became friends. I introduced him to your mom. I moved to Conneticut and have been here since 1950. Your mom and I kept in touch for many years and then we lost touch. I knew she had 3 sons. I had 5 sons and 1 daughter. I loved them both. So very sorry for the loss of 2 wonderful people. My love and prayers for you all. Kay Barbera Hinchey
