I grew up with Susan and Elery Jr. and have really fond memories of going to their house and how kind Mr. and Mrs. Barnes were to all the children. My sympathies are with all his family. He was certainly a wonderful example of a Christian life well-lived.
We were very sad to hear that Uncle Dude had passed away. He was a wonderful man and touched all our hearts. We send our deepest sympathy. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love, Jeff West and Family
What a wonderful, funny and thoughtful man Dude was. He will be greatly missed by all. I send my deepest condolences to Francis and her family.

I am honored to have known "Dude" even for a short time. He was such a blessing to everyone fortunate enough to know him. I will always remember his kind gentle nature, his sense of humor and the wonderful songs he sang in church...Prayers and loving thoughts to his family..Till we meet again, my friend.
