<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\nMnr. Barnard se ander seun, Eben (27), het sekondes nadat hy tuisgekom het, die nuus van sy pa se ongeluk gekry en na die toneel gejaag. Met sy aankoms, het sy broer hom vasgegryp en het die twee mans snikkend op die pad gekniel.<\/p>\n
Volgens mnr. Barnard se vrou, Corlene, het pa en seun Woensdag na Midwater Spar gery om vleis vir ‘n braai te koop. Die twee het besluit om sommer met die motorfietse te ry.<\/p>\n
“Ek het nog vir hom ges\u00ea om sy baadjie aan te trek voor hy gery het….”<\/p>\n
Me. Barnard s\u00ea sy is aanges\u00ea om ni\u00e9 na die toneel te gaan nie. “Ek het net in my hart gevoel ek m\u00f3\u00e9t gaan. In my hart het ek ‘n bietjie vrede omdat ek daar was, maar dit gaan nog lank vat om heeltemal vrede te h\u00ea, want ek gaan Louis vir altyd mis.”<\/p>\n
Die egpaar was vir 13 jaar getroud en sy onthou met ‘n hartseer glimlag al die goeie tye, omdat haar man so ‘n platjie was. “Louis het altyd met almal gek geskeer en grappe gemaak. Hy was die wonderlikste man, my steunpilaar en die beste ding wat ooit in my lewe met my gebeur het.”<\/p>\n
Mnr. Barnard word oorleef deur me. Barnard en sy seuns Louis, Eben en Ian.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Teen druktyd was daar nog geen begrafnisre\u00eblings getref nie. Me. Barnard het aangedui dat die begrafnis uit die Hervormde Kerk, Noord gemeente, gehou sal word. Persone wat navrae het oor die begrafnis, kan haar bel by 072 371 8821.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Die munisipale bestuurder, mnr. Willie Fouch\u00e9, het mnr. Barnard as ‘n staatmaker beskryf as die netwerk kontrole beampte in die elektriese afdeling by die Steve Tshwete Munisipaliteit. Mnr. Barnard het die afgelope 16 jaar by die stadsraad gewerk (nog ‘n berig verskyn op bladsy drie).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
