We are truly sorry to hear about Joe. He was a bit older than Matt and Myself (Dori),about the ages of our older brothers. He always had a smile on. The last time I'd seen Joe he was up here in Houghton Lake at a restaurant with some friends. He said "Hi", and that he recognized me because, I looked like my mother. He was still wearing that Barnhart smile.
We will never forget you, and all of the family is in our prayers.

Sincerely
Mathew Barnhart & Family.
Dori Barnhart (Wilcox) & Family
