Barcott, Gregory Robert

Gregory "Greg" Robert Barcott, 47, died unexpectedly at
home in Everett on Thursday, February 18, 2010. He was
born on March 30, 1962 in San Jose, California to Robert
and MaryLynne Barcott. Greg was the oldest of six kids,
being the big brother to Dave, Mollie, Steve, Janet, and
Cici. He attended St. Marks Elementary School in Seattle,
Washington after which his family moved to Anacortes,
Washington. There he attended Anacortes High School,
graduating in 1980. While there, he played football and
competed in wrestling at the state level. Greg attended
college for a year at Gonzaga before succumbing to the
lure of Alaska's commercial fisheries. Spring of 1983 took
him to San Francisco, California where he quickly learned
the construction trade, becoming a journeyman craftsman.
He returned to Washington for a family visit in the 90's and
there he met and later married the love of his life, Pamela
Ann Bonnicksen, on February 4, 1995. Greg worked in
Wenatchee and Everett, Washington as a union carpenter.
He was the very proud and loving parent of two boys,
Robert Michael (12) and Ryan Gregory (5), and he was
actively involved in their lives. Camping, swimming,
leading Robby's Cub Scout pack, assisting in little league,
going on beach outings and to Mariner's games were
among his many family oriented activities. Greg enjoyed
literature and kept a first edition collection of his favorite
authors. He knew most of the questions in Jeopardy and
could easily complete most New York Times crossword
puzzles. Greg shared an interest in bird hunting with his
brothers. He and his wife found time for vacations to sunny
climates, and especially sought places where the
snorkeling was good.

Greg is survived by his wife, Pamela, at the family home;
and two beautiful sons, Robert "Robby" and Ryan; his
mother, MaryLynne; and siblings, Dave, Janet, Steve and
Cici; as well as many relatives and friends.

He was preceded in death by his father, Robert Barcott; and
sister, Mollie.
