Double Funeral at Air Force Academy for Much-Alike Father and Son
The Gazette (Colorado Springs, Colo.) | Jan 13, 2017 | by TOM ROEDER
Cadet Timothy Barber and his father Greg shared an infectious smile, buoyant optimism, dedication to service and love of flight.
Eulogists at a Thursday Air Force Academy funeral for the father and son say their similarities made the double blow of their deaths in a Dec. 31 plane crash in Texas even harder to take.
"Our hearts are simply broken by the tragedy of this loss," Col. Tom Yoder told mourners gathered in the academy's Cadet Chapel to remember the pair.
