There was a gentle man in our little town of Cedarville who always said, “A man is no better than the life he lives.” Denny Barron, what a life you have lived!

We all have been touched by your life and your chosen profession. No matter if it was discussing municipal bonds or a young farmer opening up his first bank account of $5, we were all treated exactly the same: with professional courtesy, kindness and knowledge.

But we wish to compliment you on your humanitarianism. Your warmth and sincere dedication to helping our town has been exemplary. We know-we’ve been here 57 years and we see your footprints into many doors!

Thank you for being the quiet, giving spirit embodied in Denny Barron. We are a better town and a better place because of you.
