Donald Barr

Donald Ray Barr passed on August 28, 2011 at the age of 78 leaving behind an extended family that was blessed to have had him in their lives as a husband, father, stepfather, grandfather and greatgrandfather. He was married for 45 years and preceded in death by Ruthie LaVerne Barr. He is survived by his wife of 11 years Billie Barr whom he met in his youth in his home town of Barry, Texas.

He is survived by his Grandchildren Donald Christopher Barr, Kevin Ray Barr, Charles Nathaniel Ray Barr, Jme Barr Washburn, Jennifer Louise Kollodziej and Jonathan Ray Kollodziej.

Donald Ray Barr proudly served his county in both the Air force and Navy for 26 years. He met his first wife while based at Randolph Brooks Air force Base and she was waitressing at the Airport Caf here in Seguin. After retiring from the Navy they moved back to Seguin and he was one of the first employees hired at Motorola and worked to open the doors of that facility and remained until his retirement.

During those years he worked hard to give his family not material items but a loving and secure lifestyle that would pass from generation to generation. It is that foundation that has allowed his children to thrive and be respected in their own lives and profession and will long out live his memory in the lives of the future generations.
