We were so grieved to hear about Jr’s passing. We knew him for the years we were at the Church of God in Germantown when Phil was on staff as Associate Pastor with Randy. They were a great team with Kathy as their VIP, church secretary (administrator). Jr was very involved at that time too. He was dedicated to Christ and his family. We all appreciated his strength of conviction. We are so sorry that we were not able to attend his funeral, but know that we were thinking of you all and the gap he has left in your lives and hearts. We love you and miss you, Kathy.

I worked with Elmer for many years out at the mill. He was always pleasant to be around and great with a joke. He will be missed by all of us.

Dear Barger family, it is with sadness, for all of you, that your husband, your father and/or grandfather has passed.
It was with wonderous eyes that I read the note from Mrs Barger, to our high school class, concerning his life, his illness and his faith.
May you find peace knowing that many of us enjoyed knowing and being around him as did his colleagues, neighbors and friends.
May God continue to bless you.
