Dear Mrs. Barich,
So sorry to hear of the loss of your husband. He was one of my favorite teachers at Healy school. I am so glad I saw both of you at the Olde Barn restaurant. What a great reception he gave me. I sat in the third row first seat, right in front of your husband. I still remember what he signed in my autographbook, "What will I do without your pretty smile"? He was the best!
You and your family will be remembered in my prayers.

Mr. Barich was a great teacher and a wonderful person with a good sense of humor. Joe Barich stories and sayings are always fondly remembered in the Rumppe household. Mr. Barich not only helped and influenced me

Mrs. Barich,
After 43 years it's still hard not to call you Miss Geiger. Mr. Barich's class was fun and he had a way of keeping history interesting. Our prayers are with you and your family.
