Russell E. Barefield

Shari and girls,
I was so saddened, just today, to hear of Russ' death. He was a wonderful, godly Christian with a quiet, winning personality who I admired greatly. We met when he came to my house to install a humidifier almost five years ago and had great conversations periodically throughout the intervening years when he'd do service calls.

Dear Shari and Family-
I think of Russ often and treasure the times we spent together at St. Francis church. The Men's Breakfast group that Russ was instrumental in founding still meets on Friday mornings. though the church has closed its doors. Russ was truly a GOOD man and an inspiration to all.

I am truly saddened to hear about Russ. I had the good fortune to meet Russell at work almost 20 years ago and still remember his positive,friendly attitude, always something good to say about everyone he came in contact with, maybe that was the Scout in him..I never knew he was a Eagle Scout, but he didnt talk much about his accomplishments, the good ones never do.

I am so sorry for your loss but grateful you had so many years with the one you loved.

To the Bairefield family. I am sorry to here about the passing of Russ. He was a great person with a winning personality. I admired him. He helped me get over the awkwardness of adolecence by building my confidence. He accepted me for face value, and he always made feel like I could accomplish anything I put my mind to.

I remember the first time he saw my collection of exotic pigeons. He could not believe that there were so many different breeds of pigeons.

I remember...

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Russell was a good friend as I grew up. We meet at Heights and I missed Him. I thought of him a lot when i was station in England because of your ties with Kelly Watson, and J.D. Magee Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help at this time. Your Dear Friend Roger
