Mr. Barker,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Army during WW II and the Korean War and also for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

In our family , cousin Hugh was always referred to as "Joonya". The last time I saw him was about 22 years ago. Living to age 90 is quite an accomplishment. I wish he and his family all the best. Rest in peace "Joonya"

My grandfather lived his life with vigor, dignity and compassion and he truly cherished the friendships and acquaintances he made in his ninety years. He taught by example the value of a friendly gesture or a hearty greeting, and the truth of the adage that you get back what you put into life. Although I wish I could have had more time, I was immensely blessed to have my grandfather here for the last 35 years.
