    :inda and family - I was so sorry to see that Bob had passed.  Have many great memories of him working at the JVS.  He could light up the hallways with his smile.  He was one of the kindest, smartest and down to earth men I knew.  After he retired I saw him a few times and it was always a joy to speak with him and catch up on what was happening.  He will be missed.  Sending prayers for strength for the family during this sad time.  Eternal memory.  God bless.

    My condolences to Mr Barlow's family. I was in his autobody class in 78 and 79. I went on to become a dealership service manager for over three decades now in five states.  He was a great influence in my life and I regret I never let him know that. This is one life he touched and molded as a youngster. Thank you for everything you did for me and rest in peace

    I remember that Bob and Linca were one of the first people to greet me when i started attending Two Ridges and he always had a smile on his face and a hand out to greet any and all people who would be there to attend the services .  i am sorry i could not be at services since August my prayers are going up for his wonderful wife Linda and the rest of the family... We know he was greeted by our Lord and is safe and comfortable in our Lords hands.
