Dear Barber Family,
Sometimes you just do not want to believe what you read in the paper. I am deeply saddened by the loss of this great guy. I could always count on a smile, a word of encouragement and a SINCERE "How is everybody?" whenever I ran into Mr. Barber. I will never forget the "Stan chant" at the wrestling matches. Very sorry for your loss. Mike Ruggerio
My condolences to the Barber Family on your loss.... I have kind thoughts of the wrestling days at North Hunterdon and Mr. Barber's ever glowing enthusiasm...

Dear Barber family,
I'm so sorry for your loss. I feel like I lost a friend. I just saw your dad in April he was always in a good mood. My memories of your dad go back as far as I can remember. Everytime I think of him I see a great big smile and he always made me laugh.
God Bless you all!

Dear Tom, Renee, Lynn and Stanley-My heart feels a sadness today. Your Dad was a great man. When I ran into him I always received a hug. Andy was home from China in April and we ran into your Dad. Please accept my sincere sympathy and thoughts. Nancy Manhattan
I can't think of my childhood in Clinton without thinking of Mr. Barber and smiling. Like I told him when I was just a child - he should have been the mayor of Clinton. Mrs. Barber, Renee, Stan, Lynne & Hayward I'm truly sorry for your loss.
Bill Barber, the character I met him on Maple Ave In Newark. I lived in his sister-in-laws house. He adored his babysis as affectionally called her. A.C.took a big hit on 9/21/2009. May He Rest in Peace.
My heartfelt condolences to the family.Big Bill Barber. When I was a little kid,he was larger than life.Always cool,honest,down to earth.He is the only Homeboy I will ever know.I'm sure he has some clever quip he would like to share with everyone in his all-knowing manner.He was one cool cat who left a giant impression on everyone he met.
I first met Bill working at Annandale. He was my supervisor & our relationship grew to be friends. He always helped people when they where in need of help. He was kind, gracious, supportive and always knew how to make someone feel good when things were bad. He will be always remembered for all the good deeds he did and all the stories that we shared between one another. Bill always appreciated when I would give him a good Cigar because it was a passion of his especially when it was free and I loved seeing the smile on his face. Now he will be putting smiles on the faces of those in heaven. He will be missed but the memories cannot be taken from us. Homeboy, may you rest in Peace, God Bless You.
I CANNOT EXPRESS TO YOU WHAT BILL MEANT TO ME FROM THE VERY FIRST DAY I MET HIM, I DO NOT HAVE A BROTHER BUT BILL ALWAYS MADE ME FEEL LIKE THE BROTHER I DIDN'T HAVE. GOD BLESS BILL'S FAMILY AND BE STRONG FOR YOURSELF AND BILL. I LOVE YOU ALL.
Dear Tom, Dora, Renee & Stan, I am sorry for your loss and wish I was not in North Carolina on Friday so I could see you all. Please give each other a hug for me and know all of the family and Bill will be in our prayers.
We had the pleasure of Bill's friendship for many years, through Clinton squad and personally. He was a great guy and we will miss our little get-togethers at the Griddle.

We've lost a best friend and superb neighbor of 35+ years. His generousity over the years was immeasurable. His presence was so great and will leave such a hole in our lives as we try to move forward. God Bless Bill Barber and all that he did for us, forever sadly missed.
Bill you will be sadly missed. You were a fixture in the Town of Clinton. I have know you for most of my life and everyone knew who you were and if anyone ever needed a ride or help you were the first to assist. My thoughts and prayers go to your family in this time of sadness. You will be missed!
I shall miss his great hugs and warm heart, a good friend...and I imagine him driving a Cadillac with a cigar hanging out of his mouth somewhere in heaven right now, saying "Well, now we knew it was bound to happen didn't we? Whatcha depressed about, I'm in a better place!"
My thoughts and prayers go out to Bill's family. He was the nicest person. I was on Clinton Rescue Squad with Bill many years ago and truly enjoying knowing Bill and working with him.
Its been aride of 33 years together. A Lifetime to me. This man, my friend and teacher will be missed more than, the clinton falls, mill bridge ect.Love, compassion,consideration,shirt off his back, my friend sadly missed.
