We were all so saddened to hear of their passing. They were wonderful people who always had a kind word to say to us. They loved their dog Tootsie and we were so glad to have had the chance to take care of her, and because of that, to have a chance to know both Barb and Larry. We will greatly miss both of them.

Larry and Barb were a second set of parents to me. They were the best neighbors as I was growing up. Always a pleasure to talk to. Any help you ever needed, they were there. They will be greatly missed.

OMG, I was thinking of Barbara for the past few days, wondering if I could connect with her on Facebook. I was a school mate of Barbara at St. Stanislaus. In 8th grade there were three girls named Barbara out of the 9 girls. There was Barbara Long, I was nicknamed Barbara Short, and Barbara Haney. I often wondered if Barbara continued playing the organ. Coincidently I also was a secretary at Champion Spark Plug. Rest in Peace Barbara.
