Dr. Barnes was best example of a human being, ever. He was our family doctor and he not only provided medical care, but life care. So many fond memories over the years. Condolences to the family.

I do not live in Lawrence now and heard through a friend of Rod's passing. I found this is one of a few times when the written word fails. As my doctor for about 30 years, his absolutely genuine, warm, intelligent, caring and humorous demeanor simply made my life better just having known him. My sincere condolences to his family and friends, and thanks for the light he shared with others.
