Ed "Oldiron" Barrett was a gentle man with a heart as big as his shadow in the late afternoon sun. He was affectionately called "Uncle Ed" by those close to him.</span></span></p>

Ed's love of motorcycles goes back at least 50 years. His wife and three daughters have many fond memories of their motorcycle adventures. Like all of us that ride, most of those experiences were good, while others would have to be chalked up as learning experiences.

Although Ed was not a veteran, he was one damn proud American. Ed's involvement with the Patriot Guard Riders began the first week of January 2006 when he rode with three other members in freezing temperatures 350 miles from Dallas to Wheeler, TX for his first of many Missions. Ed soon became a Ride Captain and organized some of the PGR's most memorable Missions. He later volunteered for the position of Assistant State Captain and also held collateral duties as a Forum Moderator.

There will be Red Hat Parking Police there to assist with getting everyone parked and still leave room for the Barrett family. This is being headed up by Cindy Alexander, Robert Young and Hal Horton. All the rest of us will attempt to set the flags in the ground and then attend both the visitation and the memorial service. If you have any questions please feel free to contact any of us.
