He was my coach. wonderful. will miss him.
Hard to believe. The Barnett boys have always been a part of Bret Harte sports, as long as I can remember.
I remember all the children growing up near the Altaville Market. So sorry to hear this.
Should be a large crowd for such a popular guy. RIP
Seemed too young to go. Our condolences to the entire family
We would all go into the market to talk sports with him when he was there.
I know i'll be there. so sorry for your loss.
Angels Camp will miss this good man.
Town won't be the same without him.
