Richard Emanuel "Dick" Barber

It is soon our 60th reunion year and even though I knew he would probably not be able to celebrate it with us, we will all miss him when we meet. He was a "larger than life kind of guy" and I'll always remember his smile, his kindness and his love of life. My sincerest sympathy to you and your family, Linda. Joanne Winter

When Dick was a Senior at Ronan High School his younger brother Jim (my best friend) and I were Freshmen. We became interested in running the hurdles because of Dicks's success in winning both the high and low hurdles at the State of Montana Interscholastic track meet his Junior year. Dick ever the teacher took Jim and I under his wing and taught us the fundamentals of hurdling. Our Senior year Jim took first in the low hurdles and I took first in the highs at State thanks to Dick's...

What a wonderful, caring, and full of laughter of a man. Having lived next door to Dick and Linda for many years was a true blessing.Dick was always there to lend a hand, figure out what to do, and get ready to head out of town! He loved everyone he met. I will be forever grateful to have met a man with such dignity and love.

To the big brother that taught me how to swim by throwing me in "sink or swim" He was always there for you even when he had his own challenges. We will miss you but you have left a great family for us to be with. Love your little sister
