I am very sorry to hear about Bill's passing. He worked for my husband for many years and was always a friendly and pleasant fellow when I saw him.
Dear Susan and family. Rocco and I were very saddened to hear of Bill's passing. He was a classmate of mine (Mary Ann) and became friendly with him during the time he was in Karen's life. He actually worked with my husband on a few occasions...helping him set up a few clinics. I will always remember Bill to be a very kind, reserved, and respectful person. He was a true friend who never said a bad thing about anyone! RIP Bill Barrett!
My best memories of Bill were on the golf course. He enjoyed the game so much and never got upset over any shot he hit. His easy demeanor on the course was similar to his approach in life, a rare gift!
Bill you will be missed We the old hippie gang miss you. .
We had so many good times in our younger years. Bill was a good life-long friend who I will miss. RIP Bill.
Bill was one of my closest friends during High School. He introduced me to dirt biking and I have such great memories of building dirt bikes with Bill (Honda 350's out of piles of parts at first and then so many more) and touring in Bill's Mustang. We covered thousands of miles and never left Ludlow. And then of course we will all remember Bill as part of the Jerry Linehan crew that brought so many of us together and so many fun times. Bill remained true to his character and stayed a great friend even after I left Ludlow and we saw each other so seldom. I still think of Bill and all of the great times we had together. He made a big difference in my life. My sympathies to his family and all of his friends who will miss him terribly.
Forever in our hearts.
