I was so surprised to read of Dr. Barnett's death. I am saddened. I worked with him at Mary Greeley Hospital in the late "60's. He was a wonderful doctor and person. He treated everyone with respect. I know you will miss him very much. You have my deepest sympathy.

I've known Dr. Barnett since I was 15 yrs old, and this is a shocking loss of a wonderful man. I didn't even know he was ill until just now, and Mrs. Barnett, and his family have my deepest sympathy. Dr. Barnett was a stand-up, straight-talking guy, who never put on any airs, and always told it like it was. This is a shame, and it's still so hard to believe. I'd just seen the Barnetts in mid-September, as they were leaving for Florida. Rest in Peace, sir; you'll be missed by the many people who enjoyed your company, appreciated your insights, and liked the honest, straightforward manner in which you always spoke your mind.
