Though I did not know James personally, I wish to express my condolences to you on the loss of your loved one. I too know the pain of death's sting. Death truly is an enemy but we can find comfort in the words of the Bible at Revelation 21:3, 4: “God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” What hope is there for our dead loved ones? The Bible makes the promise: “Your dead ones will live .. They will rise up” Isaiah 26:19 We can have complete confidence that Jehovah God, who is the giver of life, will bury death forever. What a blessing it will be when we can rightly ask” “Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your sting”? – 1 Corinthians 5:55 What the Bible says about how God can and will defeat death certainly indicates his loving interest in the human family. It should help us to understand Jehovah’s personality and draw us closer to him. If you would like to find out more, please do not hesitate to contact Jehovah’s Witnesses in your area. Respectfully,

Jim and I worked together at two different places. I remember the first day he was transfered to my department. He was walking along the cubicles with his baseball cap (Raider's basketball shoes and tight jeans skinny jeans (the type that's tight at the ankle). Back then he only had a moustache. By the way he smells good too (cologne). Tony (another Supervisor) and I thought he was a stuck-up kind of guy and probably would mingle with us. Our desks were next to each other, so he introduced himself and we just got along fine.
Months went by where we had lunch/dinner together at the cafeteria at work. We would play cards during our breaks and so on. I remember him talking on the phone with Janet and saying I love you at the end of the conversation.
More months went by, the true Jim comes out. He would pull up his jeans and ask me if his jeans makes his butt looks tight. He told me women like those kind of stuff. We started to share jokes and sometimes our Leads would come up to our desks and we make fun of them. Like Jim's father mentioned at the tribute, he has that gift to get people together and work together. At this time our friendship was only at work, we never visit each other but we shared family matters during our time together.
Well our friendship almost come to an end. I was laid-off, the only thing I got was his phone number. Several months later I heard Jim was laid-off too. We started to have a ritual where every Mondays we had lunch together with other friends just to keep in touch and give comfort to each other. John moved to the East Coast and I think some of the guys just fade off but Jim and I still see each other. By this time Jim was still wearing his baseball cap and spandex yes Tyler mentioned it. Tony and I always make fun of him but he don't mind a bit.
Jim got a job at Pella, so our Mondays stopped. Somehow the kindness of this man and thoughtfulness towards his friends, Jim got me a job at Pella. We were back together again! Lunches together and all. A meeting would not be complete without Jim. Talking about King of the Prankster, that he was. I would like to share but that memories of Jim I will cherish for the rest of my life! The onions, mayonnaise, keys I consider those mild. Not long until I got laid off at Pella and I started to work in Camas, our friendship faded. Our kids start to grow up and we were involved with their lifestyle. Jim got his kids involved in football and I got mine in school bands caused the fading. I tried to call him once but I got his answering machine. I never had friend that I have enjoyed like Jim, even in my childhood days. Wherever you are Jim, you're #1 in my book.....
Love you Jim.

Jim and Kelly and I used to travel the Pacific NW hitting every rodeo we could. Pocatello, Pendleton, Sisters, Molalla, St. Paul you name it we were there. We didn't ride or rope, just enjoyed the rodeo and the pretty girls that congregated there.
On one of our excursions, Jim comes up with a notion that he's gonna have an alias, you know, some kind of glorified persona to really impress the folks at the rodeo dance/beer garden. I guess somehow three city dudes that work at a silicon wafer manufacturer just didn't have the "zing" he was looking for.
So Jim says "I'm gonna say I'm a rich cattleman". To bolster his story some, I asked him what kind of cattle he raised. Without missing a beat Jim says "Herfensteins...I raise Herfensteins and the finest of the breed!" Kelly and I laughed out guts out mainly because Jim was clueless of his lack of bovine bravado. I assured him that he would impress the cowgirls with that story!
Another time we "three amigos" were at the St. Paul rodeo. St. Paul always had the rankest bulls and best beer garden (winning combination). As I remember it, we ran into a dear friend of mine, Jan Helvie and her folks at the rodeo. Jim always quick to spot the hotty's and quickly nestled in between me and my old friend. Well they hit it off like peanut butter and jelly. It wasn't long before I was invited to their wedding in Lake Tahoe...which reminds me of another story...but some things are better left unsaid.
I love you Jim and Jan. May the Lord bless you and keep you. May he make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you. May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
Your dear friend - KC

Please accept my deepest sympathies. I worked with James at Pella for several years. He was always one to crack a joke or say something funny to break up the monotonous parts of the day. He was one of the good ones that I and many others will truly miss.

I was saddened to hear about James passing. I was a pastor at Mt. View Christian Center in the early 80's. I always enjoyed his company and I remember his smile and how he always engaged me when we talked. I am blessed to know that even as a young man he was devoted to the Lord Jesus Christ. Kris and I send our deepest condolences to each of you in this time loss. I hope this poem will be of comfort to you. We will be praying for the Barker family. In Christ Pastor Bob & Kris Hill Love…Gratitude author unknown The agony is so great….. And yet I will stand it. Had I not loved so very much I would not hurt so much. But goodness knows I would not Want to diminish that precious love By one fraction of an ounce. I will hurt, And I will be grateful to the hurt For it bares witness to The depth of our meanings, And for that I will be Eternally grateful!
