A resident of Galt for 29 years, Barry was a realtor. He served as president of the Chamber of Commerce and served on the board for 10 years. He was president of the Boys and Girls Club, serving on the board for 10 years. He served with Galt Rotary for 15 years and was active in Lodi on a realty committee.

Maria H. Jimenez
Maria Hernandez Jimenez, nace en Mexico D.F. en la Colonia Chalco. Su padre Jesse Hernandez y su Madre Francisca Jimenez, personas de enorme solvencia moral desempenon labores cotidianas de remuneracion insuficiente, orillando a su padre Jesse, de espiritu aventurero probr suerte en este gran pais que le brindo oportunidad se superause economicamente.
Con la ayuda de Dios, y por su gran capacidad laboral e intellectual logro crear su propio negocio mediante el cual se da a conocer ante todos los que hoy le conocemos. Establecido y con la invaluable ayuda de su amigo Casey Tate emigra a sus pequenas hijas; Maria de ocho y Veronica de diez anos respectivamente.
Sin la ayuda de su madre enferma en la cd. De Mexico inician una nueva vida con su padre y madre a la vez, rodeandose de nuevos amigos y la valisoisima ayuda de sus familiars por parte de su Madre.
Manifestando aria desde nina su caracter fuerte, temperamental y voluntarioso se une a su padre a la cotidiana labor por mejorar su nivel de vida y s enviada a la escuela Greer Middle School que abandono en el onceavo grado para ayudar a su padre.
Conoce el amor y engendra una Hermosa nina. Jacqueline Anable a quien bautiza Maria Gutierrez. Papa hoy que nacio mi bebe soy mujer! Y soy la mas feliz del mundo. Dejare la escuela y tabajare incansablemente para que a mi bebe nada le falte.
Ahora te comprendo mas, no reprocho tus amonestaciones que un dia considree crueles e injustas. Te lo agradezco!
Sin horario con pocos dias festivos y en ocasiones con sueldos retrasados trancurre el tiempo hasta donde se detiene para Maria, para Jacqueline Anable y un nino que no conocio la luz.
Maria que nunca deseo morir joven, con sus pequenas crias fue llamada por el senor. Junto con sus dos pequenos amores fallece en un tragico incendio en la bodega de su padre en la Cd. De Goalt. Donde sus restos mortals decansaran para siempre. En esta hermosa ciudad, en esta gran Nacion!
Hoy nos embarga la penal, el dolor de la partida de esta entusiasta, sonriente y amable mujer una bebe de tan solo dos abriles pequenita, tierna y traviesa que nunca se separo de su madre.
Maria, Mary, Morenita, Prieta, Chaparra, quien no pronucia tu nombre esboza una sonrisa, carinosa, tierna, dulce ya no estaras con nosotros pero existiras en nuestro Corazon para la eternidad.
I con tu familia Maria!
Descansa en paz!
Maria Hernandez Jimenez, born in Mexico DF in Colonia Chalco. Her father Jesse Hernandez and her mother Francisca Jimenez, people of enormous moral solvency carry out labor that do not give them sufficient funds, these labors cornered her father Jesse, of an adventurous spirit to try his luck in this great country that gave him the opportunity to better himself economically.
With the help of God, and by his great labor capacity and intellectual gain he created his own business by which he has been known to us all. Established and with the priceless help of his friend Casey Tate he brought his daughters, Maria of eight and Veronica of 10.
Without the help of her mother who was ill in Mexico City, they began a new life with their father and family, surrounding themselves with new friends and cherished help of their family members from their mother’s side.
Maria manifested her strong character. She began to work and joined her father to better their life. She was sent to Greer Middle School. She abandoned school in the 11th grade to begin working to help her father.
She fell in love and gave birth to a beautiful daughter, Jacquelin Anable. She told her father, “Dad today that my daughter is born I’m truly a woman and the happiest in the world. I will leave school to work so that my baby will have everything she needs.
“Now I understand you more, I don’t reproach your punishments which one day I considered to be unfair and cruel. I thank you!”
With few holidays and on occasions delayed salaries, time goes by until it stops for Maria, Jacquelin Anabel and a boy who did not get the opportunity to see the light.
Maria, who never wished to die young with her children was called to God. Her two loves and herself died in a tragic fire in her father’s storehouse in the city of Galt, where their mortal remains will rest in peace forever. In this beautiful city in this great nation!
Today our sorrow is great, the pain of the departure of a child of two years is overwhelming, a child that never stopped smiling and was always kind.
Maria, Mary, Morenita, Prieta, Chaparrita, who pronounces your name and does not smile, you are no longer with us physically but you will always exist in our hearts for all eternity.
With your family, Maria
Rest in Peace!
