Thank you for letting us know.  I only know him from his posts, but he was a man of great integrity and also willing to help others.  A real example for the rest of us.

You and the family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I always enjoyed his posts.

Thoughts and prayers to the family.

A sudden hole has appeared in my heart as I found this thread.  Bro. Noble was one of the dearest of friends whose hand I never got to shake.  His wit, wisdom and kindness will never be forgotten until I join him.  He left a legacy on this forum, a thread called, "Standing in the Need of Prayer", where we lift up the needs of any who are in need.  I don't even feel the need to make an entry there in his behalf, but a mental prayer for him and to him will go up every time I see it.  Rest in Peace my good friend.

We wish to offer our condolences to the Barker family. Brother Noble will be missed by us.

I really enjoyed his wit in his posts.

   First, it is ridiculed;
   Second, it is violently opposed; and
   Third, it is accepted as self-evident.

As Dang said his honesty,helpfullness and personality will still be seen by us and any person who reads his threads and posts on the forum he will be sadly missed by many  of us who never even met him in person but shared a common bond .

He was one man I would have truly loved to meet in person  :)

According to Webster, "noble" means "outstanding qualities."   Mr. Noble Barker's picture should forever be etched in all dictionaries defining "noble."  It will be in my mind.   

Only for a relatively short time did I know Noble.  We bacame good friends,we shared notes on farming, he helped save my daughters calf, I advised him on fish stocking and feeding.  His love for his family, especially grandchildren, was contageous.  He was a man I admired and will forever more.  His family will find comfort knowing we shall all meet again someday in heaven above.  Until then good bye my Noble friend.

My condolences.
Just seeing the name Brother Noble always brought a smile to my face because I could see the stoopid cows in my mind.

 :( :'( :( :'( :'( :'(  My condolences to Brother Noble's father.  We are very sorry for your loss.  His passing is a loss to everyone.  We are saddened.  I first met him in person at a Pig roast several years ago and visited their farm three times over the past couple years picking up his Dad's Corley #5 sawmill.  We enjoyed every minute of those visits which were always shorter than I would have liked :(  One visit he had a toy steel wheeled tractor with a gas engine he'd put together for his grandkids out for Zach to ride  8) 8) 8)
