Daniel "Dan" Barker

During Practice @ Florida College Coach Barker told the story about playing in the national title, and he had Walt Frazier, Guarding him during the (Wesleyan) title game against southern Illinois.
Coach Barker said the first possession he was bringing the ball down the floor Coach said Walt Frazier stole the ball, and all he could do was turn around and watch Fraiser shooting the layup. Coach Barker said "Walt Fraiser didn´t take the ball away from me the rest of the game".
I asked the coach. "What do you do different dribble the ball between your legs do a crossover dribble behind your back? Dan said "no i´ll let the other guard bring the ball down the floor."

Dan was my coach at Florida College his first year of coaching and my soohomore year. He was admired and respected by our team. Although i havent seen him in many years i have followed his life through friends and am so happy for the growth he brought to God's Kingdom. He will be missed by many but never forgotten

In life, I know you & all those about whom you care, were blessed with God´s abundant blessings, rare to most, leaving children with the most model parents, possible. I death, "the chosen vessel" you were in HIS service, will gain you your greatest victory. Dr. Roger E. Alteri
