William Barnes

Hi Barbara,
I'm saddened as we all are by the loss of our Dear Bill. He's been such a good friend. I feel so very lucky to have spent time with him and you these last few years, and especailly to have shared music with him. He taught me new stuff each time I played for him.
God Bless you and your family.

Bill was truly one of a kind. I feel very lucky to have known the friendship and talent of so extraordinary a man. My prayers and thoughts are with Barbara and the family.

Dear Barbara, Chrissy, Vicki and Mark,

By chance I read your husband's and stepfather's obituary this morning. It's been many years since we've seen each other but I've never forgotten you. I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope Mr. Barnes enriched and empowered all your lives. He will be a part of you always.

I'm writing in your guest book in part to say I don't quite understand the pain of the death of a husband or parent yet, but Sean was killed in an automobile acccident...

what an interesting life....!
wish i knew him alot better at the Family Club
sure he knew my uncle Arch Monson from Boho and Family
think the music kept him young
RIP Bill....god bless you

I knew Bill thru The Family: he was my camp-mate. His presence enlivened our deck; his spirit is still admired.

God Bless You,dear friend;never to be forgotten always to be loved and remembered. My deepest sympathy to Barbara,Mark, and the Entire family.
