William (Billy-Bob) John Barrett
October 02, 1937 – March 15, 2019
Barrett, William John (Billy-Bob), age 81-Dartmouth and formerly of Feltzen South, Lunenburg, County, passed away March 14th in Dartmouth General Hospital following a brief illness. Born in Madison, New Jersey, Bill was manager of Financial Systems for RCA (Records Division) until his retirement at age 50. He subsequently operated Barrett’s Bed and Breakfast on Lunenburg Bay for 30 years. He was a great cook but also a skilled artisan whose braided rugs were treasured by those lucky enough to own one. He was a handyman and loved to grow his own vegetables but his real passion was fishing. He will be fondly remembered by long-time friends, Ron Horacek and Dennis Mahoney who with the late Hank Hopkins made annual trips to the Dead River in Maine, by his many fishing buddies on the Margaree River and those in New Zealand where Bill pursued trout and salmon. Above all, he will be remembered for his sense of humour and his generosity. Bill was predeceased by his sister Lynn and parents William H. Barrett of Boonton New. Jersey and Margaret S. Dunlavey of Madison, New Jersey. He is survived by his sons, Michael (Julie) of Chester, Virginia, James (Kim) of Denville, New Jersey, David (Mawera) of Wkakatane, New Zealand and daughter Sharon (Joao) Barrett Martins of Succasunna, New Jersey as well as nine grandchildren and four great grandchildren. He is also survived by sisters Jill (Frank) Koczwara of Greenwood, South Carolina and Barbara (Mac) Perrin of Florida as well as his loving partner Lorna MacLeod of Cole Harbour.
