Charles Barrett Obituary
Charles Joseph Barrett, 61, of Endwell passed away after a courageous battle with cancer at home on Tuesday, April 7th 2015. He was predeceased by his brother John Barrett. He is survived by his parents Charles and Kathryn Barrett, his beloved wife Amy, and two children Maureen and Patrick. He is also survived by his sister-in-law, Ellen King; brother-in-law, Robert King; niece Kathleen Josey, and nephews Robert and Kevin King. He leaves behind several aunts, uncles, cousins and many devoted friends. Charlie's greatest passion in life was spending time with family and friends who he loved unconditionally. Charlie graduated from Seton Catholic High School, Endicott, in 1972 and the University of Scranton in 1976. He began his accounting career with Price-Waterhouse in New York City while achieving his status as a Certified Public Accountant. He moved his family back to his home town of Endwell where he worked for Singer Link and Public Loan. Charlie's ultimate goal was to establish his own CPA firm. After several locations he finally built his dream office creating the firm Barrett & Mahonski CPA's. In the community, Charlie could be found volunteering for the church, Endwell Rotary, Meals on Wheels, and the Boy Scouts. He was the Financial Advisor for St Joseph's Church. He also was an active member, an officer and the President from 2002-2003 of the Endwell Rotary and truly lived by the code "service above self". He was the treasurer of Meals on Wheels of Western Broome County, and served on the Board of Catholic Charities. His passion for the Boy Scouts of America started at a young age when he became an Eagle Scout, as years went on he continued to be active in the scouting community, which led to him receiving the prestige Silver Beaver Award for "Distinguished Service to Youth". Funeral services will be held Saturday at 9:30AM at the Allen Memorial Home, 511-513 E. Main St., Endicott followed by a Funeral Mass at 10AM at St. Joseph's Church, 207 Hayes Ave., Endicott. Burial will be in Calvary Cemetery, Johnson City. The family will receive friends at the Allen Memorial Home Friday from 4-7PM. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Meals on Wheels of Western Broome.

Charlie was my RA freshman year in Hafey Hall at the University of Scranton. He was a positive force in shaping my life as well as those who lived under his "rule" in his dorm in 1975-76. My prayers go out to his family. He had a positive influence on the lives of so many of us at school and I am proud to have known him.

Amy, Maureen and Patrick. I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Charlie. You need to know that I considered all of you like family after working for Charlie for so many years. He was like a brother to me and he was patient, strong and the most amazing man that I have ever had the honor to work for. Let your hearts be relieved that he is no longer suffering as he has in the past and know that he is forever watching over you three. Since leaving in 2004 there has not been a day that I have not thought of him and secretly thought I should move back to NY to still be working with him. He has blessed mine and my children's life with the experience of knowing him and your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of need.
Love to the three of you always.

I cannot tell you how saddened I was to hear of Charlie's death. He became my accountant after my dad passed. My dad was my accountant until then. I fell in love with Mr Barrett because he reminded me in many ways of my dad. If you knew my relationship with my dad, that speaks volumes of Mr Barrett. May G-d bless his soul and help you all through this most difficult time.
