Bret Thomas Northington - Hanford Sentinel

Rayma Ellison, in 2002. The two enjoyed traveling, building their dream home in Avila Beach and summers in Bass Lake.It wasn’t long before Bret opened his second dealership, Bret’s Ford, in Reedley, California in 1996. Bret soon outgrew the Reedley store and broke ground on a brand-new, 55,000 sq. ft. dealership in Dinuba, California. Meanwhile, he opened a used car lot, Bret’s Sales and Leasing, in Hanford, California.Bret’s biggest accomplishment came when his two children with Terri were born, Whitney Marie and Bret Jared. Bret always wanted something greater for his children and he worked tirelessly to achieve greatness for his family. He was always one to brag about his kids and was a very proud father. Nothing made him happier than going to Whitney’s softball games and yelling “Who’s your daddy!!!” While this embarrassed Whitney and Jared at the time, it is now one of their fondest memories of their dad. Bret taught Whitney and Jared to take risks, be in charge, assertive and business minded. Bret took great pride in mentoring his young son, Jared, into being the business man he is today, just like his dad.Bret leaves his loving and fond memories to be cherished by this mother, Dolores “DeeDee” Van Groningen, his two children, Whitney Northington Barnick and Bret Jared Northington, and his son-in-law, Nicholas Barnick.
