Robert J. Barrett, 95, died at Greenwich Farms in Warwick on March 25, 2022, exactly 16 years after the death of his beloved wife of 54 years, Barbara L (DuCharme) Barrett. Bob formerly resided on Union Avenue in Warwick.

He had previously served as the city's Director of Waterfront and Parks and he had also owned 1776 House, a quality furniture store.
Bob enjoyed walking, golfing, playing in the Warwick Police Department golf league, watching golf, the Red Sox and the Patriots, and yard work. On summer evenings he and his neighbors met to sit in the driveway and debate and solve the world's problems. He was a proud lifelong Democrat and a devoted Catholic.
More than anything else, he enjoyed spending time with his family. His greatest joys were holiday gatherings, summer cookouts, and watching his children's and grandchildren's sporting, music, dance and theater events.
