George Earl Barker

At 7:15 PM today George went to be with his Lord.

All his immediate family except Dwight were at his bedside as he passsed away very peacefully.
He got up this morning and had a bacon and eggs breakfast and some grits I believe. Then went out and fed the birds. He and Marg were getting ready to go town. While Marg went out through the garage to the car, George went back upstairs to his study and got his stock papers out. He always sat in the mall and worked on what to buy or sell while Marg shopped. As he came back down he took a stroke and fell.
Marg heard the commotion and came in to find him laying there and called Jeanne, when she arrived they got him to sit up as he wanted to then Jeanne dialed 911. He was unconscious when he arrived at the hospital.
The stroke created a massive blood clot in the brain and was hemorraging. The trauma proved to be too much for the old soldier and the family asked for the removal of the life support system he died about 30 minutes later.
Aunt Mary and Lydia were there as well as he passed away .
At present we think the funeral will be Saturday at 1:00PM at King St. Baptist in (Preston) Cambridge.
