Today my father passed away, he often went by Barley.

We haven't been around any of the group get togethers/shoots for a few, maybe 10 years, but thought I would post here on the chance that those who knew him may see this.
My dad, often known by Barley/Barley Pop, Dan Tallman passed earlier today he was only 60.

He went and got tested for kung flu due to a cough and shortness of breath on 01/24 but tested negative.
They found he had viral pneumonia and was admitted to the hospital where they found out he also had two types of bacterial pneumonia.
Just prior to being released, having mostly recovered and cleared the pneumonias he took a sudden turn for the worse and tested positive for china virus.

There were plenty of ups and downs from there, he ended up sedated and on a ventilator due to covid moving to his pneumonia damaged lungs.
They were able to lift the sedation a bit over a week ago but he never regained consciousness and passed earlier today.

We don't have any plans for a service as he just wanted to be cremated and wasn't a fan of funerals.
He/we aren't really religious but for those that pray I wont turn them down.

[sonofbp]

Thanks everyone I appreciate the prayers, condolences, and well wishes.
I'm just hoping some of his old friends I don't have contact info for may see this.

Some people who were around but may not have knew us well may recognize this from "back in the day", we had a ton of fun working on and romping that truck out in the desert.

 

[Gunslinger808]

Dang it, I kept thinking about that truck, but I wasn’t sure if it was him that owned it.
