Papa Barton as I was always told to call you from the first time I met you, this is truly a sad day for me. You will be truly missed from the bottom of my heart. You welcomed me into your family/home as a child and were always a pleasure to be around. One of the most funniest individuals I have ever known throughout my life. Your beautiful wife/you took Justin/me on a wonderful boat trip as a child, that I remember fondly to this day. Always welcoming me to your home, whether it was for weekend stay as a child, camping later (in my teens) in a tent by the boathouse or simple a quick visit while I docked my boat (as an adult) to say a quick hello. It was always a pleasure and fun experience. I say this from the bottom of my heart, you’re truly loved and will always be missed by many. We lost a great man and we can only wish to be half the man you were.
To the family, sending love/blessings/prayers from my wife/father/myself.
