Edward Macias Barela

Eddie, gone but not forgotten, saying a prayer for you each time I pray the rosary..

Always with a smile when greeting us at whatever event we found ourselves..good friend ❤ throughout our lives .

Eddie a good friend and a hard worker. I grew up as neighbors in the Parlier Projects and hung out with his younger brothers. Often we play baseball in the orchard across their house and listened to the Odies almost every Saturday. I also taught and coached at Parlier High while Eddie was the Head Custodian. He had a lot of pride in his work and the campus always looked in excellent shape. He gave special care to the gymnasium being a former PHS basketball player. I recall that in one particular game the opposing coach wanted Eddie to crank open the windows claiming it was too hot. Eddie informed the coach the chains to the windows were broken. Eddie was aware that I wanted the gym steaming hot for the varsity game because we practiced in similar conditions giving us the advantage. Eddie was very knowledgeable with his craft and was a mentor to several custodians and grounds personnel. He left his benchmark at PHS. Mr. Edward Barela will be missed by his familia y amigos. Rest in peace in the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Eddie your friend Rick Rodriguez.

As one of your friends and neighbors I will never forget you. Always a smile and good testimony of God's goodness to you! Until we meet again my friend. Rest in Peace.

The class of 1967 will miss you. You were an important part of planning and organizing our reunions. Your positive attitude and willingness to help were greatly appreciated. We will truly miss your sense of humor. Eddie, our reunions won’t be the same without you. Our sympathy to your family and friends.

Thanks for the fun memories, Eddie. Our love to your family. Holly and Glen Bundy
