My deepest sympathies got out to the Barker Family during this most difficult time of loss. May the words found at Isaiah 61:2 bring you comfort.

I was sorry to read of Don's passing. My family knew all the Barkers back in the late 50's/early 60's with our involvement in IOF (Foresters). I think all the girls had crushes on the Barker boys. My deepest sympathies to Don's family.

Don became my big brother and an amazing business partner, the titles he only accepted. A man of principle and pride....my favorite tease was when I caught him chewing a really juicy piece of gum on the phone. I just heard that every time he got on the phone with me, immediatley he would stick it on the phone until we were done talking - it really made me laugh. Because of Don's devotion to his wife Ann, whom he affectionalty always called his "bride", he made me believe that true love is possible. He encouraged & mentored me in my very wonderful relationship with my man Andrew. I could not wait to tell him that we were engaged. To tell him, was sharing a personal achievement & validating the huge impact he had made in my life because of Ann & him. Don was solid in both his personal passion and his business passion, to give it your all and always be yourself. He is one of the few very successful business men, who put family first and proved that being a great husband, father and friend....is the only road to follow.
