I am very sorry to hear that.

That's terrible news. All in all I truly believe he cared deeply for the state of New Hampshire and the safety of all boaters.

Condolence's to his family.

Very Sad News. He was a man who cared very deeply about the lake and the boating community.

Resident 2B · 10-18-2011, 10:18 PM

Sad news.

David was a great example of a fair and just public servant, who went over and above all expectations in getting the job done.

Condolences to his family and may he Rest in Peace.

GodSpeed Director Barrett! You will definitely be missed!

WeirsBeachBoater · 10-19-2011, 10:23 AM

I have known Director Barrett for many years. He was a great man, served this state and it's residents well for many years. He also was a fun loving gentleman outside of work, an avid snowmobiler for many years, as well as an accomplished Touring Motorcycle rider and aficionado. My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife and family. I will miss the conversations we had over the years, God bless you DB!

I had the opportunity to talk with him a few times. He is very knowledgeable and fair. Even the folks that work with him and under him enjoy working with him. Condolence to the family.

OCDACTIVE · 10-20-2011, 09:01 AM

On page 11 of the LDS, there is a short caption that says there will be a celebration of life for the Director on Monday from 4 - 7pm on board the Mount Washington docked at Weirs Beach.

This is very fitting for such a great guy. I am very sad for his family. God speed Dir. Barrett. May you rest in peace.
