RIP Bill Barker u was a good friend!!
Bill will be missed by my family and I . Bill to us was a good and loyal friend who regaled us with great stories and tales from his travels . He was always ready to lend a helping hand if the need arose . He talked fondly of his family and Grand children and friends . Having worked in the wood trade myself , I recognized Bill as one who was very knowledgeable as a carpenter . I never asked him a woodwork question that he couldn't answer . May his free soul always find peace . Knowing Bill , he'll find the shortest trail to heaven , were he belongs .
U will be missed
R.I.P. my friend
