HALLSTEAD, Pa. — The mailman in this tiny northern Pennsylvania hamlet took an hour off Thursday and the manager of the auto parts store locked up at 11 a.m. as hundreds of townspeople paused in their daily toil to say goodby to a fallen son.
Staff Sgt. Larry R. Barnard, 29, father of three and husband to his high school sweetheart, Tammy, was killed Dec. 21, the second day of the invasion of Panama. But Panama seemed light years away Thursday from the rolling dairy land along the Susquehanna River.
"If Larry ever brought anyone home, it was always someone who was hurting," said the Rev. Keith Benjamin at Barnard's funeral. "Whether he was volunteering to mow lawns for older neighbors or offering some other help, he was the kind of guy who could not pass a person on the street if he saw that they were suffering."
At Arlington National Cemetery, across the Potomac River near the nation's capital, Spec. Alejandro I. Manriquelozano, 30, of Lauderhill, Fla., was also buried Thursday. A young man from a Peruvian peasant family, "he was the kind of guy who, if you had no shirt, he would give you his," said his cousin, Jose Canalas of Long Island, N.Y., a hotel manager.
