Not sure what to say?

Dr. Barnes, you were a talented artist, both with your patients and photography. Your kindness to animals, especially some of the "different" species, will be remembered. You were a quiet, softspoken man. One of few I knew that could wear cowboy boots in the operating room and look as though they belonged there!
I hope you have found peace and many of your precious friends, both human and animal.
I will always remember you. Save a place for me.......

Dr. Bill, I have missed the sharing of your life & talents on the pd forums. Your wit & humor were incredible as was your gift for story telling. Your selfless love for animals was to be admired by all. We will miss you. Tari Mether (Naples, Fl.)

Dr. Bill you will be so missed. Your talent in so many areas always amazed me so much. You were a true treasure and I am blessed to have known you the little I did.

Dr Bill, your talents where unsurpassed. What will the animals do without your gentle touch. Know that you will be missed by many.

Dr. Barnes, You were a talented photographer and sculptor. I not only feel privileged to have known you via the prairie dog groups, but to also have met you. May God appreciate your love of life and your numerous talents. You will be missed by many.

It was an honor to call Bill a friend. He was truly a man with many talents and a big heart. He was a great companion and spokesperson to prairie dogs, a most misunderstood species. His love and devotion to them was without bounds. He was a great and generous man that lived life to its fullest.
