— Jim Fairles, February 8, 2015Uncle Barry, love you very much and will miss all the times you made me laugh, groan or made me feel just warm from your caring and love. I fondly remember the times when you snuck me treats as a child and all the times I had to just smirk and turn/shake my head when you would give my children secret permission to have just one more candy. I am so sincerely glad that they were taught that an Uncles say overpower parents any day! I am so sorry Mom and Aunt Jan for the loss of your brother. Leanne, Lori, and Bev, we love you and your families very much. We are thinking of you and are keeping you in our prayers.
