Richard S. BARNES

Thanks to everyone that has come and to those who reached out to us over the last few days. We are truly overwhelmed by this outpouring of support.
A good friend and mentor of mine always said: don't let the highs get you too high and don't let the lows get you too low. Tuesday morning was as low as I can ever remember and thank goodness its getting better each day. That is because as we think about our fathers life its all the good that we think of now and here are some thoughts about...

To the entire Barnes family, I am so very sorry. Dick was a kind, polite and good man.
