Wallace "Wally" Barnes

Knowing Wally was nothing less than a privilege. Our relationship was business oriented but it always seemed
friendship driven. I vividly remember the pride I saw in his face when he first showed me around the Barnes
Group offices and plant. He knew everyone by their first name and their respect and affection for him was palpable. I chaired a gala in Hartford in the early 1990s. Wally and Barbara were our Honorary Chairs. When dancing, I recall saying to Barbara that I just loved...

I had the honor of working at associated spring/Barnes Group. assembly line making seatbelts and in het treating. I also enjoyed joining him at CCF

Our heartfelt sympathies in this, your time of grief.

A great example of Wally's self - deprecating humor was his relating the story about landing his seaplane with the wheels down and flipping the plane upside down. After freeing himself and surfacing, instead of heading for land, Wally was right back in the water diving to retrieve his briefcase. Such a terrific man.

A very sweet and kind inspireing person i had the pleasure of knowing my condolences go out to the family marvelous person
