Gary Joel Barker

I was so sorry to hear of Gary´s passing recently Verla,Randy and Chris. And especially sad to miss his service. Bob and I loved you both. You were so good to me after Bob´s passing and I thoroughly enjoyed our grief group and how we all bonded. It was rough at first but little by little God healed our hearts. Don respected and liked you both as well. My prayer´s. Love Jo and Don

Gary and I came to know each other as youngsters through inter-family relationships. While we did not have the opportunity to spend significant time together, our friendship was of respect for one another and a special bond. I felt honored to attend his service today and pay my respects for a wonderful man, father and special person. My sincere regards to his family and all who attended a wonderful ceremony honoring him. Semper Fi......

I am one of the four, few and proud Marines, who graduated from Ft. Vancouver HS (class of61) I felt so grateful and blessed to be able to visit with Gary at our last class reunion. He will be missed at our next class reunion this June, but our thoughts will be with him.

Verla, My heart goes out to you . I am so sorry for your loss.

We are so sorry for your loss, we are praying for you!

Gary was a very fun, loving man. He smiled a lot and was very friendly. We always enjoyed Gary and his family as we spent many years in baseball together and at King School functions. We will miss him. God Bless his family. Jim & Marjorie Gulliford

Randy & Heidi, Gary was so blessed to have wonderful family to care for him when his health was failing. I never met him, but I am certain he will be greeting you some day in Heaven. The world IS a better place because of him. He will be missed.
