John Gary Barber, 71, of Greensburg, died Sunday, September 23, 2018 following a hard
fought, year long battle with cancer. John was born July 26, 1947 in Niagara Falls, NY to the
late Edwin & Winifred Warrant Barber. He served his country with pride for 6 years as a US
Navy Submariner and went on to a 40 year career with Westinghouse Electric. John is survived
by his loving wife of 41 years, Gail Sjoblom Barber; 4 children, Jeremy Barber and wife, Teresa,
Matt of Greensburg, and April Hauger and husband Andy of Greensburg; 9 grandchildren Katie
Sarver, Brandon Sarver, Tommy Hauger, Cora Hauger, Mikey Nicolazzo, Charlotte Hauger,
Jacob Hauger, Lily Standish and Ruby Standish; along with his sister Janet Gould and husband
Richard of Florida and brother Jim Barber and wife Judy of Michigan and multiple nieces and
nephews. John believed things should be done right and everything needed to be well thought
out – ‘anything worth doing was worth over doing.’ While he was not social, he was extremely
kind, and gained the affection and respect of those around him through his willingness to lend a
hand.
