On December 31, 2015, Harold Edward Barker went to the big car show in the sky. Born in 1942 in Chicago, Illinois, Harold got to Texas as soon as he could – moving to Dallas with his parents and sister, Barbara, when he was 3 years old. Harold graduated from Jesuit College Preparatory School in 1960; married his wife, Norma, in 1972; had a son, Tyson, in 1980. He moved to Shady Shores in 1986 fulfilling a childhood dream to have a home on the lake.

With his broad smile and love of people, Harold could sell ice to Eskimos. After 40 years in sales, he opened Anchor Bay Boat and RV Storage in Corinth, TX. Over the years, he became a fixture to thousands of customers and neighbors who came by for breezy afternoons of coffee and car talk.

Harold loved his toys – cars, boats, fishing rods, knives, gadgets, you name it. His prize was "Petunia," a 2005 red supercar he showed at car shows across North Texas racking up over 100 trophies.

His love of life – and of people – made him a great friend, businessman, churchgoer, fisherman, Ford fanatic, knife and coin collector, mentor, brother, husband and father. He is survived by his wife, his son and his 2005 red supercar. We miss you so much already.
