I met Barbara when we were both very young and worked at the same office in Brookhaven, NY back in 1973. Quick witted with a sharp and sardonic sense of humor we hit it off famously. We had occasion to split a few pitchers of beer, laughing and cajoling. She was a sheer delight.
At some point she introduced me to her then husband Ralph and he and I joined forces to form a Long Island based rock group. Several years later I moved away and lost contact with the two of them. In the mid eighties, as chance would have it, I moved from Texas to Washington, DC for a job opportunity. Who should I meet? Barbara, who by then was going by "B" Bellino. By then she was relegated to a wheel chair. There had been no outward indication of her illness back in the seventies so it came as a bit if a shock to see her in that condition when we again met. Having been good friends for such a long period of time we had no need to dwell on her current situation. Instead, we picked up where we left off, strictly on a professional level, meeting periodically to discuss business matters and always greeting each other with a smile. She passed away much too soon. She was the epitome of grace and beauty. They say the good die young. I can testify to that. She´ll always be "Barbara" to me. The meer mention of that name always brings up very pleasant memories of the extraordinary person that she was. Rest easy my dear friend.

B was a wonderful person with a great spirit that was not over shadowed by her illness. She will be missed by all that knew her.

I have not seen B in recent years, but I have good memories of her and her friendship. She was always full of light and laughter. She will be missed in the world.

B was funny, smart, stylish, assertive and brave. She loved good food, miniatures, stenciling, unusual earrings, lovely clothes and flowers. When others suffered a tragedy, her help was immediate, personal and practical. She knew how to have a good time and make an event an occasion to remember. She will be greatly missed.
