My condolences to all family & Friends of Mr Barquist. It's been a long time but I still remember his wisdom & wit as a kid listening to him at the kitchen table. Mr. & Mrs. B did a great job raising all the kids in the northland.

Memories of Herb will always bring a smile to my face. I'm blessed to have known him and all the Barquist's. Hugs and prayers...

My folks (Norton & Betty)as well as I used to enjoy visiting with Herb whenever we got to attend the Hanifen reunions back East. I, too had an interest in photography and Herb gave me many good ideas.
We both also shared a recent passion for genealogy (although I believe Steve took on some of Herb's latest legwork.)
Montye and I have all the Barquist family in our prayers.

All the time spent at "The Barquist's", a home away from home, is what a lot of memories are made of. It's amazing Herb & Charlotte survived us all. Charlotte, you and Herb will always hold a special place in my heart. May all your memories of your life together bring you comfort and know that my prayers are with you and all of your family.
Love,
