My sincere sympathy to the Barnett family at this loss of Ben- husband, father and friend. May the Lord wrap his arms around you and give you all comfort at this time.
Louise you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

As Ben's only child, I can say my childhood, especially my grade school year summers were among my favorite memories, let's see.. I got to ride motorcycles, corvettes, hang out with his friends, there were frequent lunches at local bars that I looked forward to with pinball games, lots and lots of pinball games. Maybe a few drag races, I think just one almost motorcycle accident (it was Byron who lost control over some railroad tracks I think, my Dad just ended up running over his own toe somehow) totally typical things you do with a little girl.... and everyday after our fun, my instructions were..."now remember don't tell your mother"
My father followed his own rules which MOST of the time was my favorite thing about him. When my Mom would get frustrated with me she would say sometimes " ugh you are just like your father".... I admit it, I am just like him and I love it !
Love you Dad

may Ben be in heaven a good half an hour before the devil knows he is gone
Someone who had been my friend when we lived in Westlake once came across Ben at a softball game and asked him if he was Barb's bother. It absolutely floored him. So much so, in fact, that he called me up to tell me about it. No one had ever referred to him that way, as somebody's brother. Me, Barry, Brad, Beryl, we were Ben's siblings but he was Ben Barnett and everyone knew that! I'm going to miss him so much. Barb
