Gerald C.

Mr. Barr was preceded in death by his parents, Grady and Rubenia Barr and his sister, Jackie.

His memory will forever be cherished by his wife of 46 years, Lorraine Barr; three sons, Jerry Barr, Ricky (Penny) Barr, Jamie (Jonnie) Martin; two sisters, Betty Nedbalek, Barbie Byrd and his brother Johnny Barr.  The legacy of their PawPaw will also live on through his nine grandchildren and nine 9 great-grandchildren.
