I met Dr. Barton about ten years ago when I was in charge of arranging men to go in pairs to visit a man in Ephrate who was debilitated as a result of a stroke. No matter when I called him, he was willing to give me a date when he could go and visit. These visits went on weekly for many years. Always faithful. Well done thy good and faithful servant.!!!!

Robert Barton was not only mine and my husband´s friend, I have known him for many many years. He took care of each member of my family in illness whether physical illness or emotional. When I came to him and was upset, he would merely pat my hand, and tell me that everything would be all right., and it always was. He was kind and caring, and the kind of doctor that everyone could hope for. May God keep and hold you in his arms! God bless you and the rest of your family Marilyn.
