I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I just found out today from Ron, Sr., so unbelievable of his short time here but God obviously needed him home! The good news is we will see him again, one day soon! Ron, Jr. is your guardian angel and he is always with you everywhere you go. Their love for us never leaves us. It is with us throughout eternity! Although I didn't meet you, Charlene, I knew Ron, Jr. when he and Patrick helped me move a long time ago. He was so funny and upbeat and made my move, fun instead of dreadful. I will pray for your family that our LORD keeps you wrapped in his arms and holds you close to HIS heart. You all will be in my daily prayers! May our LORD Jesus Christ be with you always! Saundra

Charlene,
Just this weekend I was reminising with friends about Mikey and his ball handling skills. Right behind that I was told of Ron's passing. It stunned me all weekend. I am so sad. I think of how loving your family is and I can't think to do anything but stare, blank, into space. There are no words. Your family is loved by so many. Know that I think of your family often and you are in my prayers.

It is with deep saddness that I learned today of your sudden loss. My sympathies to you and his family. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Though it has been a long time and far away, I am a better man because I can say that "Ronnie" Barlow was my best friend.

To the Barlow Family,
I worked with Ron for 6 years at Purina, until I left 3 years ago. Since then, every random meeting at the pool at the J, or on the sidelines of our kids sports events, has been met with a firm "great to see you again" handshake, and lots of laughs. I will remember Ron as a solid guy, with great enthusiasm for life. He will be dearly missed.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time. Ron always wore such a big smile and his sense of humor made us all laugh! He always made us feel so welcome and comfortable, and was ALWAYS so kind to Connor. We will definitely miss him on our soccer trips and at our soccer games. He made a big difference in a short time for us all, and I know he will continue to shape your's and the kids' lives. Find strength in your faith, family, and friends...for both yourself and the kids. Take care and know that we are here in whatever way you may need us.

Dear Barlow and Reed Families,
I was lucky to grow up on the same street with Ronnie (and all the Barlows) ---We attended Lourdes together and while he was in the smart class, he was always very sweet to me.
Seriously, he always made me feel as though he was very happy to bump into to me as college students up at Krueger's or when visititing our parents who still live across the street from each other. Ron was the wrong guy for this deal. He was in love with his wife, nuts about his kids, proud of nieces and nephews, a thoughtful son, fair coach, good at his job and overall a totally decent guy. Guys like Ron --and there are damn few of them--should live 100 years not 43. This a inexplicable loss. It is one that I don't know that I will ever understand. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Take Care, celeste

Heartfelt sympathy to Ron's family:
I had the good fortune to work with Ron at Purina. To know Ron was to love him, what a treasure. A sweet, caring, hilarious man - I have so many great memories of Ron.
He inspires me to be a better person, I'll truly miss him.

One of my earliest childhood memories is playing with Ronnie at his parents house. I had the pleasure of going to DeSmet and SLU with Ron and he was just a great guy who was always positive. My most sincere condolences to his wife, his children and his parents.
Sincerely,

My deepest sympathy to everyone in the Barlow and Reed families. Ron was a terrific man. He seized every moment and infected others with his zest for life. You will all be in my prayers. God Bless.
December 15, 2009
Charlene and children-
I am praying for all of you and hoping that in time your sadness is replaced with the many happy memories of your husband and dad that I know you have. I worked with Ron over the years and as so many others have said, he was just one of those guys who made you feel good to be around. Friendly, gracious, caring, kind, and happy always. We will miss him dearly. We will keep all of you in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Rebecca Smith and family
December 15, 2009
We hadn't seen Ronnie in a number of years; however, we can't remember a more upstanding man. We can still remember him carrying his first-son into mom's house on Christmas eve. A man never looked prouder. God has called home a truly wonderful person.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Barlow family.
With love and deepest sympathy,

Dearest Charlene, Jeffrey, Tommy, Michael and Lizzy--Our hearts are heavy with grief as we try to understand God's plan in taking a true angel from this earth. Though we know your family only through baseball-Ron was one of those people who one would say "what a true family man". I still picture him carrying Lizzy on his shoulders(as she talked non-stop about the new puppy Santa would be bringing in six months!) as he ran from field to field to never miss a part of his kids' lives (as Charlene was driving up in their new van with the remaining son!) A real gentleman, a breath of fresh air and role model to all. God has certainly chosen the perfect angel to complete His season. We consider ourselves fortunate to have been touched by your family. May God wrap you in His arms as you grieve. Our love-Loren, Sharon, Elizabeth and Gabriel Ditch

Barlow Family,
I was in the Lourdes class with Ron's sister Laura. I knew Ron from the neighborhood in U. City, but got to know him better at SLU. I have fond memories of Ron when he bartended at Clarks.
Ron was a great person and a fine example for many.
I am very sorry this happened.
My prayers have and will be said.
With Sympathy,

Barlow Family,
My sincere condolences over the loss of Ron. I knew him from his very first days at Purina, on the West Coast, then when he came into HQ in St. Louis. Always an up-beat, "can do" guy, someone you just wanted to be friends with. He will be missed.
My profound sympathies to you all. While we don't know each other, I knew Ron well, and unfortunately time has separated us. I am sorry I am unable to attend the memorial service for him, but he and you, his family are in my thoughts and prayers.
And, as dark as this may sound, having lost my own father at an early age (his and mine) I know better days are ahead for you all. May you all keep a loving, lasting memory of your husband and father in you thoughts for the rest of your lives.
May God bless each of you.
Michael Niemann
December 14, 2009
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. What an incredible loss. Ron was not only an incredible family man but also a great friend. Although Ron was one of my best friends in high school, we didn't regularly get together in recent years. However, every time I would see Ron it was like things never changed. He was always a great friend and was always smiling.
I will cherish the memory of spending time with Ron and Charlene just a few weeks ago at our DeSmet 25th reunion. Not many alumni showed, but it didn't matter because Lyn and I got to spend time with the two of them. For that I am very thankful.
God bless Ron and the Barlow and Reed families. He's up there still smiling and will watch over all of you.
Take care,
Geoff Hutt

To the Barlow Family,
I met Ron briefly at a workshop we had earlier this year. Some people you meet only once and they make a lasting impression, Ron was one of those guys! His bubbly personality and quick wit will be missed by many I'm sure. My prayers are with you at this difficult time.

We were classmates at OLOL and when our friends told me the news on Friday I was shocked and saddened. Ron was smart, funny and one of the best athletes in our class. My heart and prayers go out to his wife, children and his family. May the Lord give you strength and courage each and every day.

Dear Charlene,Jeffrey,Tommy,Mikey,and Lizzie, We were shocked to hear of the news to say the least. Never lose site of the fact that God is good and that he obviously really needed your husband and dad in heaven with him. Rest assured that he is in peace and that all of you will be together again FOREVER! That is the greatest promise that is a guarantee. Stay close to your family and friends, knowing they will help you through this but stay close to God most of all. He will never let you down. We have been praying for you and will continue to do so. Take care.

I am a co-worker of Ron's and I just want you to know how sorry I am. Ron was a true servant leader, wonderful co-worker and friend. He was always there for me when I needed advice, and would do anything for anybody. I was always amazed at how he balanced work with his family. You all came first for him!
The Purina Family will forever hold Ron in our hearts.

I went to college with Ron. I see him with a sincere smile, beer in hand, always open to whatever came his way. At a time when we were all so self-absorbed, I never once heard him complain or whine or...well...say anything other than positive, fun things. I really liked him.
David and Susan Bohler

I was saddened when I learned about Ron today. I have known Ron, Patrick and Ron, Sr. for twenty some years. The Barlows have always been friends.

Ron and his entire family are in our prayers.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of Ron's family and friends.
It's been nearly a decade since I've had contact with Ron, but I thought of him from time to time, and wondered how his life had progressed. In reading the postings here, it's clear that he was every bit as good a person as he was when I knew him, and passed those traits on to his family. He was a hard person to forget, and an easy person to admire.
I still remember when he invited me to the "Everyone's a Barlow" gathering over 20 years ago, and I think the title was appropriate. Ron made his friends feel like family, and that is a rare quality that I will miss greatly. I feel privileged to have known him.
December 13, 2009

I am so sorry to hear about Ron. I know only too well what you are going through. You are in our prayers. Matt and Lacey O'Brien

Julie & George Aliano
December 13, 2009
We have many happy memories of Ron. Spending many summers at the baseball field with Tommy and Michael on our son's teams. Ron was always running from one game to another and trying to make sure he saw as much of each childs game as possible. At times I think he was two places at once with Charlene calling on the phone to give him updates on the game he was not able to attend.
His quick wit and great sense of dry humor had us laughing constantly.
He was taken from us too soon, however while he was here he lived life to the fullest. We will miss him dearly, the world was a better place with Ron Barlow in it. Our heart goes out to the family.
We will pray for you.
Ron Mills
December 13, 2009
I am so saddened to hear of the loss of Ron. I can say that in the short time I have known Ron, he earned my respect and friendship. He was always a true gentleman and made you feel great just being around him. I know how dedicated he was to his family and his deep love for sports. In the one year I had the privilege of coaching Tommy it was obvious the great upbringing he had received by Ron and Charlene. I have coached hundreds of young men over the years and Tommy was without question the best mannered and one of the hardest working. These traits come directly from Ron and Charlene. We will all miss Ron. Our thoughts and prayers will be with the Barlow family.

Our deepest sympathy to Ron's family,
Ron & I graduated from DeSmet two years apart. Although I didn't know him well, we met up on the sidelines at our son's baseball game a few years back. We reconnected immediately. What a great guy, I'm sure he will be greatly missed by many. Our deepest sympathy to his wife, Charlene, his children, and to the many lives he has touched. Sincerely, Andy & Cindy DiCarlo, Ascension parish

TO MY BUDDY RON, AND THE BARLOW & REED FAMILIES:
I will remember Ron as an extraordinary person - great friend, great family man, great co-worker, and great role model to all. Ron seized each day to bring love, laughter, and life itself to all those he came in touch. So many wonderful memories have passed through my mind from the years I've been blessed by his friendship. These go back to our days in high school at DeSmet; summers at the ballpark during our college years, and yes, Ron was a great bartender at Clarks near SLU during those years sharing with everyone the greatness of his spirit; the night golf tournament at his bachelor party in Innsbrook; and of course his marriage to the most beautiful wife and mother he could ask for who together have brought into this world four beautiful children. The memories go on and on from raking leaves at Ron and Charlene's first house they bought in Glendale, MO to their first dog they adopted from Purina farms; there are other special memories when we lived close by in Southern California as Purina co-workers, hanging out at the beach, and sailing with his family (then Jeff and Tom at the time). I used to laugh watching Ron change diapers (I was single at the time). Ron was a family man; God and Family were his first priorities. During my single years, I used to have to call his wife for permission to have Ron join me for a night on the town. Charlene honored our friendship by allowing him to go. Ron was a selfless, caring, and generous friend from helping fundraise for charity events (Boys Hope Girls Hope) to helping me through difficult times. He even went as far as to help me find the engagement ring for my wife...which of course cemented his role as a groomsman in my wedding. These are just some of the memories of my buddy, Ron. As I reflect, my deepest sympathies and prayers are with the Barlow and Reed family during this time. I am grateful for the memories I have of Ron and through these memories, he is still bringing love, laughter, and life. His legacy and spirit will never die. Love, Joe Harrison

I had the good fortune of knowing Ron for many years.
As a schoolmate at OLOL, he was always a nice kid. As a classmate at SLU, he was always a fun guy.
I also saw Ron become a wonderful family man. I would see him proudly with his family on the occasional weekend at Innsbrook.
I will remember Ron's quick smile and firm handshake.
I will remember Ron as a warm and kind person.
My deepest sympathies to the entire Barlow family.

My deepest sympathies. In our early youth, Ron was part of the group of boyz living around Maryland Ave who used to hang out playing hockey in the street, riding bikes, playing hoops or baseball. He's the first of my childhood counterparts in the old neighborhood to pass. I'll always remember his laugh during bike races in the middle of Maryland Ave.
December 13, 2009
Ron was such a wonderful, wonderful man. He was taken from us way too soon. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. He was truly a great man whom I will miss dearly.

Charlene, Jeffery, Thomas,Michael and Elizabeth,
My simple written words will never come close to expressing the loss I know you're feeling. When I heard about Ron I was just stunned. I had to sit down and cry. It's hard to understand this. And as I struggle with it, I will find solace in knowing Ron is in a better place with the Lord our Savior. It is still so hard though. I'll just try to convince myself that God must have wanted another angel in heaven, because he has certainly taken one from all of us. The world is a better place with guys like Ron Barlow in it. He was such a good person and wonderful human being. There was no one who didn't love Ron. When I used to see him at card parties, he'd open his arms and call "Pumpkin" and I'd call back "BooBoo" and we'd man hug. I loved his smile and his humor and laughter. Ron was the real deal, the genuine article; just a good guy. We will all miss him dearly.
Please draw stregth from your faith, family and friends during these hard times. You have my deepest and most sincere condolences. Please know I have you all in mt heart and in my prayers.
