William "Hank" Barton III

Work for Hank for 10 years. What a very nice person to work for. RIP. And, BY THE WAY THANKS for passing away on my birthday.

Dear Hank, Thank you, loving brother, for your friendship, kind regard, good will and deep equanimity. Light, Peace and Love.

I only met Hank recently but in the very short time I knew him, I have to say, there was something profoundly unique about him. A sense of wiseness and calm despite all he was experiencing. He did touch my soul and I am so glad to have known him.

I remember Hank's sweet smile, his serenity about life, his sense of humor and always kind words for everyone. Mike and I enjoyed him so much when ever we were around him. We will miss seeing him but know that he is in a pain free place. Our condolences to all of this outstanding man's family.

My name is Jim Thomas and at one time Hank and his family lived in Yakima, Washington on a street known as Linden Way. Back in those days Hank and I were good friends even though he was three years younger we did a lot of `boy´ things together, climbed every tall tree around our neighborhood, helped his Dad keep his pride and joy `50 Ford Business coupe clean and polished, learned to snow ski at White Pass and shoot a few hoops in slower times. We had a great growing up time in those years...

The Thomas family sends their thoughts and prayers to the Barton family. The Barton family was the closest to relatives that the Thomas family had in the Northwest.. the children played while the parents socialized .. the Lindenwaywards..a wonderful growing up together...sorry for your Loss

Oh my. So many wonderful memories of Hank. He always has the best smile and a kind word for the goofy young girl whose parents were family friends. He did love cars and his family. Sending hugs.

So many memories...so glad he is at peace and watching over all of us. Love you all.

Hank was a good friend. We shared similar interests. I remember when he would see a cool car / truck when I was living in China he´d take a photo and send to me. He was thoughtful this way. This small thing helped me feel connected. We shared creative ideas and had nice conversations from cars to spiritual ideas I already miss him. Love ya man, I´m glad you were in my life.
