Jack and Ruth were special people I have known them for 30 years. The most caring people I ever knew.Always doing for people and wanting nothing in return. I will miss her deeply.

Ruth and Jack Barger and their long association with Proctor's during my growing up years in Camden is a treasured memory. They assisted so many Camdenites during their times of grief and the Lord used them in great ways.
The family is in my thoughts and prayers as they grieve, and Camden has lost another of its leading citizens. But remember, there will be a Grand Reunion with them in the future.

I have known Ruth and Jack all my life. They were two of the most important people in our lives. My sister and brother and I always looked forward to Thursday evenings when Ruth and Jack came to dinner. They were as big a part of our family as were our grandparents. I will never forget Ruth teaching me to fish with bubblegum as bait. Jack helped me to get my first job. I wish that my kids had someone such as Jack and Ruth in their young years. I miss them greatly.
