MEMORIES OF BARRON, CHILDHOOD FRIEND

There never seemed a time that Barron was not a part of our lives in growing up in Carrollton, GA. Even though he resided at Sand Hill, his mom was always there with a camera to photograph each and every event that was special to all us kids. Jerry has shared this photo journey through the years with all our classmates...many events that would not have a photo image were it not for his Mom. He was one of those 'enduring' characters that we loved so much, for the love he gave to each of us...in his stories of his career in medicine, his trips to Ireland, doing 'free work' in anesthetics for doctors to help underpriviledged communities on his vacation time, but always recalling how much fun it was to grow up in his hometown and the antics of his childhood friends. My late husband and I so enjoyed our lunches together in Alpharetta at the 'Alpha Soda Shop' over the last few years, and we always left him feeling happier and enlightened at his joy in life. He had that 'magnetic pull' to only focus on the good in life. His illness was such a blow, his decline in health so hard to accept, and his 'pulling away' from all of us at times as he lashed out at us, but we know that was not the real Barron. Rest in peace, my friend, your journey is over, but your memory will be always with us for as long as we, ourselves, draw breath.
