BARNES, Vallance Charles (Val)
It is with much sadness we announce the passing of Val at Chaffey Aged Care on the 29th May, 2025, aged 89.

“A True Gentleman, sadly missed”
The Measure of a Man
from your loving wife Val
The measure of a man is not determined
By his show of outward strength
Or the volume of his voice
Or the thunder of his actions
Or of his intellect or academic abilities
It is seen rather in terms of the love that he has
For his family and for everyone
The strength of his commitments
The genuineness of his friendships
The sincerity of his purpose
The quiet courage of his convictions
The fun, laughter, joy and happiness he gives to his
family and to others
His love of life
His patience and his honesty
And his contentment with what he has
You are all invited to join Val's family as they celebrate and honour one of life's true gentlemen. His service will be held at the Gol Gol Lawn Cemetery on Thursday, June 5th at 10.30am
Watch Val's service hereDear Mrs Barnes , and family, thinking of you all and sending love and thoughts. The Measure of a man, what beautiful words and so true.
