Wil and I would like to express our sincere condolences to the Barber family. WE Will always remember the good times we had traveling together. One of the many good things we will fondly remember about Nae is just how persuasive he could be. The time we left all the charm of Charleston, SC to Florence, SC to play in a huge gold tournament as part of our wedding anniversary was one of his greatest (no argument from the wives). The times after a dinner out of ribs, Nae insisted on finding a grocery store to buy ice cream for a late snack in the hotel room of ice cream and honey bun cake (one of my favorites). The best of all, we were at the White House and Nae insisted on having conversation with security. That is the one-time Mae interceded and Nae listened. These memories and many more will always be with us. May he RIP!
