Casa Latina, Inc.

Ricardo Barrientos

It is with great sadness that we must report that one of Casa’s former directors, Ricardo Barrientos, passed away this week. As the Gazette reported:

He was a longtime educator in the Northampton school system and later in Springfield. He was a very serviceable and community-oriented person, helping many people and organizations, especially the Hispanic community. He loved his students. He was on the Board of Directors at Florence Saving Bank, was a former member of the Northampton Housing Authority, and was the former acting director of Casa Latina in the 1970s. He was a sports fan, enjoying football and especially basketball. He was a wonderful husband, father, and grampy.  

 The staff and board of Casa Latina offers its condolences to Ricardo’s family.
