To the Barnes Family; I was sorry to hear of the passing of a great man you have my prayers.

Mr Barnes was the first and only coach I had that would really make you feel like you were apart of the team. He had that magnified personality of making everyone feel they belonged on our teams back in the day. I will never forget the times spent on and off the field at Candycane park with him and his sons Steve and lil Pete. Last but not least his wife Helen and daughter Beth are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless the Barnes family at this time of sorrow.
