My heartfelt condolences to the Barber family. Ulysses was my neighbor for many years when his family lived in Safety Harbor. He was always nice and polite and humble. I hadn't een him in years and was shocked to hear of his passing. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. I pray God's comfort for the family at this time. Sorrowfully Vanessa

I have no words in our loss of Ulysses. He has been our neighbor for over 24 years but he and his family are so much more than neighbors. His family was our family and losing him is a loss that will more than likely take my lifetime to get over. I know that he is home with our Lord, I will continue to pray for those that are here until we see him again. Love you Barber Family
