I will always remember Mr. Barnard for his smile, friendly attitude and kindness when at the Barnards' home as a kid and teenager. He always had a joke or funny story with a smile to go along with it. Thanks for the memories of car shows, barbeques and a generous loving home!

One of the nicest and happiest men in the world. He was an amazing grandfather to me, a wonderful great grandfather to my daughter, and a loving husband and friend. I will never forget you, Papa.

I knew Mr. Barnard from his participation every year in our Senior Awareness Day Car Show. He was always the first to arrive and I enjoyed talking to this nice man every year. My condolences to his family.
