Dear Mrs. Barnes and family,
It's no question that Mr. Barnes was one of the kindest and most generous individuals that I have know in my life. Although I didn't work with him directly or know him as deeply as you and your family does, I must say that in the 6 great years I worked with 5/3 Bank he never forgot a name and a face. I remember his great smile, heartly laugh and strong handshake. He was truly a larger than life individual and will be missed by all who have known him.
