I am sorry to post that John M. Barber Sr., father to Dresden Town Councilman, John Barber Jr., passed away on Thursday, January 15th.
John M. Barber Sr. served on the Whitehall Board of Education at one time and was an advocate for prudent spending and high student standards. He also was an avid fisherman.
Here is his obituary from the Post Star.
“May God support us all the day long, till the shades lengthen and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done. Then in His mercy may He give us a safe lodging, and a holy rest and peace at the last.”
