I am proud and honored to have married into the Barnicle family. Tom and Bridget have been the best in-laws anyone could ask for. They have been loving, supportive and a positive influence on my family.

My heart aches for Bridget and all their children as I know this is such a difficult chapter in their lives. Time will help ease the pain; in the meantime, the prayers and thoughts of all the McIntosh's are with you as you go through this sad time.

I will sincerely miss Tom; he was such a great man and loving father, father-in-law and grandfather.



Love,

Andy McIntosh

We had the opportunity to meet Mr. Barnicle at Ric and Nora's wedding in August, and it was certainly our privilege. In the short time we were around him, he made us feel very welcome, and we were touched by his kindness and his sense of humor. His influence on his family was obvious to all. Our sincere condolences to the family - we know he will be truly missed.

Mr. Barnicle was such a nice man. Mr. Barnicle was recommended by Tom's dad, Ron Henn, as a great plumber. And he was. He always was available and he worked very hard. He will be missed by us. We send our prayers and condolences to Mrs. Barnicle and his family.

Sincere condolences to the family of Tom Barnicle at this sad time.



I remember chatting with Tom when he would do work for my friends, Mike & Mary Riordan of Elmwood Park. And an occasional toot and wave as we passed in traffic, each going to and from our customers homes around EP. He was a fine, hard working man. Tom and the Barnicle Family will be in our prayers at Mass at St. Joseph's, here in Scottsdale this Sunday.
