Lorenzo was a classmate at GW as well as a team mate on the 1968 basketball team. He was a kind, generous, and fun person. My prayers go out to his family and I pray that the "peace of God that passes understanding will settle over their hearts and minds".

April & Brion, Rochelle, and Chawan,
As I shared at your father's service, I feel honored to have your father as a dear friend and colleague. Since I lived in Alexandria, after work I would often drive him to your grandparent's home. We had such wonderful conversations from his love for his parents and each of you to how to make the world a better place. Your father was a great man, the very essence of goodness, kindness, generosity and decency. The world was a much better place for because of Lorenzo Barnes and I am a better person for having known him. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Elaine

April & Brion, Rochelle, and Chawan,

I am so sorry to hear of your father's passing and your losing him from your lives.

I worked with Lo at Xerox from the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s and he was a great guy. We were sales managers together so we got to know one another fairly well. Lo was smart, loyal, generous, and always quick to laugh. He was a people person who others wanted to be around and spend time with. I am grateful for having known him, learned from him, and being friends with him.

I hope there is some comfort knowing that his friendship, influence, and memories extend across a wide circle of people.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

My warm regards,
Tom Berray
