To Joyce and the Parker Family, it was a true honor to have claimed Barzie as a friend. Don’t think there was a more honest and kind man on earth. We shared many happy years of camping and game playing over the years.
I hope all the good memories will help to ease your pain.
The angels hit the jackpot with this fine man.
