I will always remember how much fun I had as a child flying back to NY with my Mom, Cathy, to visit Grandma and Grandpa. Trips to the Frog Pond, learning to schuck corn, beautiful flowers and the best garden in Sidney...what's not to love.
I will remember the twinkle in his eye and his warm-hearted chuckle, the way he smiled on his 50th wedding anniversary as he and Grandma rode in a horse-drawn carriage to their party and the strength of his convictions which he has passed down through his children.
Thank you Grandpa - you are loved and you will be missed.
your grand-daughter,
Jenny

What a truly kind, friendly and interesting man was Bill Barnes. Our family visits were always enjoyed and memorable.
We were so fortunate as a family to have known the Bill & Pat Barnes family.

As a long time Sidney resident, I will never forget Bill's wonderful smile and always ready help during his many years at Sidney Agway. He was a wonderful man and great citizen of Sidney. Rest easy, Bill.

I was saddened to hear of Bill's passing. How I miss the times at Mass on Sundays as Bill would pass me after communion and we'd shake hands. Like his life, Bill's handshake was strong & confident, yet compassionate and full of warmth. I never knew his real first name. He may have been born Stephen, but he will always be Bill to me. Rest In Peace, sir. You have earned it.

I was sorry and saddened to learn of your father's passing. I was a sales rep for an electronics firm out of Buffalo and called on your father for many years. Your father was one of my most favorite accounts. He was so personable with that gentle smile and I saw him as a strong, quiet leader. We would hold Sony shows in Binghamton and he would bring your beautiful, lovely mother Pat with him. I often thought they exemplified a strong, great marriage. Though I have not seen him in over 25 years, he was still in my memory bank. Sincerely, Ed Cunningham, former Rep with Standard Electronics, Binghamton Office.
