Barr, (deceased), James Barr (Kathy), and Anita Weiss (Casey). He served his country in the Navy prior to marrying his first wife, Sandra Barr (deceased), and raising their three children: Kelly Barr, Lisa Turoso (David), and Joseph Barr. He was a wonderful father to his children and grandfather to his granddaughter, Olivia Barr. He raised his children to love the Lord. He always had time for his children and was kind and generous to everyone. He earned his Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering from the Illinois Institute of Technology and retired from Eco Lab in 1999. He was very active in the church teaching Sunday school, singing in the choir and serving on the church board. He liked to fish and keep his mind sharp with puzzles and games. He found love again in 2012 and married Susan Barr. He loved spending time with Susan in Florida, including dinners and dancing at beachfront restaurants. Along with his children, he loved his step-children: Nikki Fink Kellogg (Richard), Richard Fink IV (Alysia); and three step-grandchildren who enjoyed calling him Papa John.
