Edwin Goode Barnes, Jr.

I knew Ed from my time at Allied Chemical. He was always a complete gentleman and he never lost his cool under pressure. I will always count him as a very good friend. I will miss seeing him and talking to him.

Jerry, Charlotte and I send our condolances and our prayers for you and the family. Would like to come to the memorial service but due to another previous engagement will not be able to attend. The article for us to share about your father was very nice. It's good to reflect back on on a loved one and remember the good times that were shared.

Love to all,

My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time. Doug, Greg and their families are truly sorry about their Uncle Eds passing. I personally have so many good memories of the good times we shared in the past.
Doug was speaking the other night about he and Donnie walking along Court House Road when they were teenagers. He said that was a lonely road at that time and can't imagine doing that now. I will never forget him

I will never forget him and I sure am going to miss his e-mails. I looked forward to those. My love goes out to Louise, Jerry and Maureen and all the rest of the family. We have lost a wonderful man and he will surely be missed.

Love,

I never met you ED, however we share a common bond, although I am many years younger than you I too served as a boiler technician in the US NAVY, I have done research on the libery ships of wwii and I understand the mental toughness one must have to serve in the boileroom of these vessels, I even got a chance to board one in Brementon WA while stationed onboard the USS NIMITZ CVN-68. I even worked at anheuser

I even worked at anheuser busch for 5 years as a weekender. I applaud you service as it brought about numerous changes for us future boiler technicians and made our jobs much safer. Rest in peace your ship has come in my brother.

I with all our shipmates will dearly miss Ed. My comfort comes knowing that Ed added so much to our seagoing experiences, and in knowing that he is now in a better place. May God give comfort to Mrs Barnes and your family.
I will be on the voyage when Ed is buried from his ship.

Dear Aunt Louise, Jerry, Maureen, Katie, Donna and families

When I think of the true meaning of an American - I think of Uncle Ed. What a honorable man. Wow, to be married 64 years! and happily :) Father, friend, countryman, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother-in-law, Uncle, neighbor the list goes on and he did all roles well. Such a strong man and full of heart and laughter.

I am so sorry for the loss you all have sustained but know that he is

Louise & Family,
I share your feeling of loss but know that Ed is in a place without pain or discomfort. I will always consider my life richer for having known Ed as a friend and sometime confidant. His love for country, family and his creator were the qualities that made him respected by all who came in contact with him. He will always be remembered as a true friend. Bunny Armstrong
