( thanks to Steve Wilson ) Bob Monroe Barrett passed peacefully from this life in the early morning hours of Saturday, May 11, 2019, to finally meet Jesus and have all his questions answered. Bob spent the last 3 months of his life wisely: surrounding himself with a multitude of family and friends, sharing precious memories, entertaining with his quick wit, and engaging in meaningful conversations. Bob came to realize and understand the importance of his deep faith and reliance on God’s strength most especially during the last months of his life and felt the importance of sharing the story of his salvation with everyone he encountered during that time. Bob was born on June 27, 1949 in Rapid City, South Dakota to Nathaniel Monroe Barrett and Olive Ernestine (Miller) Barrett. He enlisted in the US Navy in 1976 and served aboard the USS Acadia and the USS Lynde McCormick. His naval career consisted of operations in the Indian Ocean, the Persian Gulf and on Diego Garcia Island. He also served 2 tours as an Electronics Technician Instructor at Great Lakes Naval Training Center. Bob was stationed at Sigonella Naval Air Station in Sicily, Italy when he retired from his naval career, with the rank of Senior Chief, in 1996. Farewell, Shipmate...until we meet again.
