Walter Barnish Memoriam

In Memory of

Walter Barnish Jr.

I guess heaven needed an extra special humorous angel. On Saturday January 11, 2014 Walt took a ride on his Harley earning his wings through heavens gates. Walt was a kind man with a heart of gold. He touched everyone in his life, as well as animals with laughter, love and a smile. You have been blessed if you had one of many nicknames that he gave to you. He will be missed more than he could have known. Although our hearts break. We will keep him in our hearts and memories. So Walt we will remember you at these times and places...Halloween, hearing a song by Kiss, when we do the safety dance, watch Rocky Horror, The Planet of the Apes, play green ghost, light fireworks, burn a watermelon umbrella, see the Devils play, ride a ct 70, go to the Harley-vous, also visiting the Chester, Seaside, Dorney Park, Empire State Building or when riding the Harleys. There will be more times than I can say. We will remember you always. Cousin Swinia until we see each other again, say hi to everyone and watch over us. We love you.

As Always isc do domu spac.

Love your Family and Friends

We are so sorry to hear of Walt's passing. He was more than an employee to us, during his years at Budget Print in Bound Brook...he was a very special friend. Love and prayers to his Mom, his wife, Patty and his beloved "little buddy" Kyle. Walt will forever be an angel, watching over you. PEACE,

Memories are something that can never be taken away and live forever in your heart. I remember his great sense of humor. Never forget his dressing up as the bald guy from the Great Adventure commercials for one Halloween. I always thought now that is a imaginative man who could bring a smile to my face. I was impressed. My last memory was Christmas Eve at Jenette's and a special fatherly love look that I saw on his face as he was connecting with Kyle.My sincere condolences, Patty. - Linda Myers

I have never met anyone as special as Walter, he was a friend, the warmest, most honorable and one of the funniest men I had the pleasure to have known. The time I had to know Walt was not long and for sure not long enough.... I send my prayers to Patty, Kyle and the Family. God has added a grand sole to his lineup. You will be missed but never forgotten. Rest in peace Walter....
