John Barber

John Gary Barber, 71, of Greensburg, died Sunday, September 23, 2018 following a hard

fought, year long battle with cancer. John was born July 26, 1947 in Niagara Falls, NY to the

late Edwin & Winifred Warrant Barber. He served his country with pride for 6 years as a US

Navy Submariner and went on to a 40 year career with Westinghouse Electric. John is survived

Richard of Florida and brother Jim Barber and wife Judy of Michigan and multiple nieces and

nephews. John believed things should be done right and everything needed to be well thought

out - ‘anything worth doing was worth over doing.’ While he was not social, he was extremely

kind, and gained the affection and respect of those around him through his willingness to lend a

hand. There will be no public visitations. The funeral service and burial will be private at

Fairmont Cemetery, Cook Township. Memorial contributions in his name can be made to
