Bart was one of my closet friends in high school. Thought we lost touch, I never forgot his dyanmic mind and positive energy. I am so sorry for your loss at this far too young age.

Both of us had the privilege of working with Bart at L & M Hospital. It was a joy to be around him. Whenever Bart walked into a nursing unit, his warm smile and kind personality were greatly appreciated. He was an intelligent, funny, caring and talented physician. Our prayers go out to all of his family & friends.

I was truly saddened to hear of Bart's passing. As an Ob-Gyn at L&M Hospital, I worked closely with Bart for many years. There was not a finer, kinder, more caring, professional, courteous, friendly, intelligent physician there than Bart. He will be sorely missed by all of us. My heart goes out to Bart's family, and my prayers are with you.

I was deeply saddened to hear that Bart has passed away. We were very good friends in high school, but lost touch many years ago. Everyone who knew Bart in Methuen knew he would do great things in life. He was intelligent, creative and marched to his own drum. Please accept my sincere condolences on your loss.

I had the double privilege of working with Bart on LDRP and being a patient.
He cancelled a fishing trip to come in and do my surgery. I will never forget his smile, his kindness, his consideration for his patients and coworkers. He was truly wonderful

My deepest sorrow is shared with your family at this time.
I worked with Bart in the OR and LDRP at L&M for many years and have dearly missed the "family" there since moving to FL in 2006. He introduced me to some great Jazz and mentored my love of The Rippingtons, among so many others. His ease and skill in the OR was a blessing, and his presence will surely be missed.
I will pray for you and your family during these days to come. May you find the peace and love of God to sustain you.

We also buried my 44 yr old brother Mark Torres this morning. We grew up 2 doors down from Bart in Methuen, MA. I knew him when we were young. I remember him leaving for Woodstock in 1969. They both died too early, but lived great lives. Now, they are in heaven with their dads.
Cosmo, John, Jennie, be strong for his wife and kids. All we can do is be strong.

My deepest sympathies to Bart's wife, daughters, and entire family. His passing is not only a great loss to his personal family but also to his hospital family. I met Bart 20 years ago at L&M and I am truly saddened by his departure from this earthly world. Heaven awaits him with eternal peace. May the joy and love he brought to all those that knew him bring comfort in this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife and daughters.

I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Calobrisi for many years. He provided excellent care to me when I needed an emergency c-section, and my husband and I have a healthy baby girl today in part to him. He will be missed, and he will always be remembered by us. My sincerest condolences to the Calobrisi family.

To the Calobrisi family...With a full heart of sorry...we send you our love and support at this most difficult time in your lives. And whoever put together is obituary was a genius and I'm sure reflected not only Bart...but as well...your families integrity.
Next time you look up at the sky at night...consider this ol'Eskimo proverb...
“Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.”
God Bless you all!
