My first but certainly not only memory of Barrett was during lunch in the second grade. It consisted of a pint of milk and a ketchup sandwich. My shock at such an oddity was met with a shrug as he seemed to enjoy it. Said he loved ketchup. Years later, I’d remind him of that unique delicacy and we’d both laugh. Our friendship began with a ketchup sandwich and I could write story after story since that time, but those are better told to a drinking audience. My condolences to his family. I’d be shocked if Joe and Gunny weren’t awaiting his arrival with a pint or two. John McCarthy

I will miss your sweet smile and goofy laugh. You helped make me who I am today and I will miss you so much! I love you

- Kendall , Guyton , Ga

Who is going to call me 20 times a day? Who am I going to complain to about all these people we don’t like — joking of course;) Who will complain about how I make coffee? You quickly became more than a boss to me; family is what you are. That office will never be the same. I am so thankful for 4.5 years with you. I remember the first thing Kendall told me was if I could get passed you being mean, I would last. I immediately laughed because after meeting you the first time, I realized we are so much alike. I could not have asked for a better Boss. We will hold things down at MBW, you rest easy. We miss you so much already!!

- Amber, Guyton, Georgia

My sincere condolences to all Family members. Prayers to follow. You will surely be missed my old friend. RIP, "B"!

I have known Barrett since well, forever!! The story’s that could be told and the memories that could be shared would take forever. Had to have been the late 60’s when the Welsh’s moved to Maupas Ave and from then on Joe and Barrett had an influence on my life, not always good but always fun!! Joe and Gunny will have a cold PBR waiting for you. RIP Barrett, you will be missed.

My condolences to Cindy, the family and Barrett’s many, many friends. To me he will always be Coach Barrett. I remind him and Timmy of that every time I see them… usually at Docs. Coach Barrett and “the Saturday morning window climb” will always be a fond memory from my childhood (Timmy knows the details). I smile at this thought while at the same time I am saddened by our loss. I’m sorry I am unable to be in Savannah tomorrow to be with his family and friends. I hope all will celebrate the life Barrett shared with all of us as we mourn our loss. God Bless you, Coach.

- Bill Hussey, Jackson, MS

Barrett was a good and loyal friend and a charter member of the Daffin Park kids. Having known Barrett all my life and competing in ball games both with Barrett and against him, it was ALWAYS better to be on his side. You stood a higher chance of winning and a lower chance of getting punched in the mouth. Rest in Peace my buddy,you earned it.
