A Good Man, Great Leader's Example Recalled

This short obituary does not even come close to describe the man represented here. He was a leader, father and example as I was growing up. I knew him, his wife, Dell Marie and first three children as a twelve year old babysitter. They lived down the street where I grew up. They were my first experience with a Latter-day Saint family. Brother Barlow was an energetic, hard working man in the insurance business.

Recently I made contact with the couple and was glad I did. I will write about it on another entry. Here is the tribute to him in the newspaper.
