Memories and Condolences
for James Barton
July 3, 2013
To Kay, Emily, Max, Ben, Brooke, Beth,
I have extended my sympathies to Kay but this is the best way for me to say how sorry we are to all the children and "bonus" children of Jim Barton. Not having your addresses, we did want to convey to all of you how very saddened we are with his passing. Big Jim was so big nobody will ever forget him for a minute. He was a great guy and will be sadly missed. We hold a candle up for him at Seawatch in Naples at sunset time. With sympathy, Carol And Larry Wright

Our sincere condolences to the Barton family. Jay especially remembers the good times at the Dave Diles Golf Classic in 1981 and a fun fishing trip with Jim and others to Lake Erie until a bad storm came up. As friends and former clients of Jim we were fortunate to have known him. He was a good man and will be missed.
Jay and Barbara Chaney

To the Jim Barton family.
I am very sorry for your earthly loss. I knew Jim in the late 50's when he was our football coach at Middleport,Ohio. He was one of the guys and a good coach. I last spoke with Jim in Middleport about five years ago. Dave Wolfe a friend of mine in Newark told me about Jim's passing.
I know you will be at a loss without him in your life.

I did not know this man but after reading his obituary, I sure wished I had! Loved what the PIP Club talked about. This should be on Fox News!
