To the Talbot Family:
I had the pleasure and honor of being a student in Mr. Talbot's Fall 2006 International Business class at SELU. Mr. Talbot taught me to do my best and always expect more from life.

Dear Talbot Family,
I have many pleasant memories of Barry when we worked together at Ethyl in Baton Rouge. My wife Anne and I send our fondest greetings to the family. We have been in Richmond for 22 yrs. and we really are sad at being so far away from many friends. This distance make it very difficult to show our care and concern in person.
Blessings to all the family,
David and Anne Johnson

Our deepest sympathy for your loss. Barry was a mentor and second father to me. I remember when I was 20 years old and contemplating leaving L.S.U. to accept a bookkeeping job with A&P Grocery store where I was working part-time. He encouraged me to stay in school, which I did. I would not have enjoyed my career had it not been for Barry's advise to stay in school.
He attended my college graduation and my wedding, even though it meant him traveling to Houston.
He was a good...
