At approximately 7 pm on Thursday August 13th, 2015 at one of the most beautiful & peaceful spots in the quiet, quaint, beachfront community of Madison, CT a scene from every parent’s worst nightmare became a horrifying reality. An especially kind and pure hearted 18 year old; our friend, son and brother; Joe Barber became a victim of a tragic diving accident which has resulted in his inability at present to have any movement in his body below his chest.
He is a Hand student, a brother of our team, lets show our love and support.
