Edward R. Barnes

Every afternoon from the mid 1970's forward, "Mr. Barnes" walked to Breton Village to buy fresh meat for his wife to cook for dinner. On the way home passing by my house on Breton Rd., he'd watch for my two young daughters and stop and chat with them about school, being good, study hard and a reminder to mind their mother then give them a piece of candy or a penny from his pocket and be on his way. This kind and gentle man will always be remembered with tender affection.

Kate and Andrew, You are deep in my thoughts and prayers for all the losses you have been through in such a short period of time. Though unfortunately life had become busy and complicated and I hadn't been blessed with any "Ed time" in many months, his lessons remained with me. Ed and I shared a strong work ethic and he taught me to value with a new understanding what that enabled us to do for others. I will sincerely miss him and be eternally grateful for the time I was able to spend with...
