It's hard to believe that it has been 8 years . Sadly Mr Mark Baker who was Mr Barton's long time friend and shipmate also crossed the bar last week.

Jarv was a remarkable man. An exceptional craftsman, a true old yankee enterpreneur, a man with a passion for restoring boats and cars to their former glory. Always a gentleman. Glad I had the chance to know him.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Jarv's family and boat yard crew. When my dad passed Jarv was so kind and helpful to me. I have many fond memories of the time I spent chatting with him in his office about boats, cars and life. He will be missed.

I was sorry to hear of Jarv's passing and will miss seeing him in his golf cart at the marina and showing me his cars of which he was so proud.
