I am so incredibly sad to hear of Barb's passing. We worked at RAI together for years and she was just the kindest, funniest and spunkiest lady i had the pleasure of working with. She was the kind of person who let you know it was ok to be who you are and as long as you were a good person she loved you. Ill miss you BH!! May your soul be in eternal peace.

Dale and Family- I am so sad to hear about Barb's passing. She was such a good friend and I loved working with her at both IGA and Research Associates. We all miss her here at work- she was always smiling and cracking jokes. I know she will be missed tremendously.

Condolences to Dale and Barbs beautiful family! She was the oldest cousin in our Hanculak family, I was the youngest! My memories are vague but I do know we had a great family. Love you ! Carol
The very definition of a grandmother. She was a comfort in dark times, and always a joy to be around. I’ll forever remember weekend sleepovers, going to Indians games, going downtown, and back to school shopping with her. She made us grandkids feel special, and always made sure we had smiles on our faces. I hope that she is resting easy.
My wonderful Sister was the best ,I'm going to miss her terribly .As a kid she was given the huge job of watching me when mom and dad where working I did everything but listen to her and i am still lucky to be here she was not happy with some of stunts I pulled. I told her I was sorry hope she heard me,Barbara I love you and hated to see you leave us!I'm sure you will be dancing the Polka with Mom soon.Jerome
