The Rev. Ronald L. Barber

Ron and I began our ministries at the same time. His 'first Assignment was Pleasant Valley in Dayton, Ohio. Mine was Huber Heights in Dayton also. We shared our problems and difficulties together.

Sherry, Ronda, Bettie
I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your dad. We loved him so! Always made us laugh even while myteaching us so much! thank you for sharing him with us?

Bettie, Rhonda, Sherry, and family,
Dan and I have wonderful memories of your mom and dad and all of you from our days at Vandalia. It was your mom who got us together in the first place, and your dad performed our wedding ceremony. We know you will miss him so much, but we are happy he is back with his love, Shirley, again. Heaven is rejoicing at his homegoing.

He was a tremendous Pastor & friend! Jennie & I will never forget the help & guidance he gave to us, when I was called into the Ministry.

Other than my parents he was the first person who taught me how to walk with God. I will never forget all that he did personally for my family. I am sure that he is suffering no longer and having the time of his life.

This was and will be My Pastor. Friend, encourager, counselor, example, another one I want to see in Blue Ash Corner in heaven.
