Sorry I cannot be with all of you to remember a very special person. Back in 1951, Barney was the best man at our wedding(he was 31 yrs old). I will remember always the many happy times we had with him and his beloved wife Elsie. Also, I'll never forget his infectious laugh.

Love to all and may all the wonderful moments you shared with him bring you happy memories in this very difficult time.
Much love to all, Mary & family
