My Dear Friend Barney,
Glad your at peace and in a better place. Together again with your Brother Paul hope you guys don't argue quite as much ha ha.
I will never forget the day we met in the early 70s as kids and the friendship we had all these years. We built model cars together went sledding together and as I remember it You gave me my first ride on a snowmobile. When my son was born I honored our friendship naming him after you. You will never be forgotten you will live on in my son Brandon, he is so much like you its scary. How Joan ever put up with us boys was beyond me but she is a great mom. Ken was always supportive on whatever contraption we had in our head we had to built too. We sure went though a lot of cars. I am sure if Ken ever found out the wild ride we took his corvette on we would have been in some hot water. You really could have been a NASCAR driver, you really could drive. I don't think anyone will forget the day you and Chris Kunkle had a Demo derby in the high school parking lot, even the teachers were cheering you guys on. lol That poor old 66 chevy looked pretty ruff after that. Well Brother I could go on forever with fun stories of our childhood. I remember last summer stopping by to see ya on the Harley, it was a good day. Bran you will be missed but Never forgotten.
God Bless
Bob
I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one. He was a great guy to work with and to talk to.
He was never negative, even when he felt at his worst and still was at work. Such a fighter.
He will greatly missed by everyone.
His memory remains.
Prayers to all.
