Geneva celebrates the life of a high school teacher who brought out the best in the athletes and students he coached.
John Barton's funeral Tuesday night might have been the best I've ever been to—maybe because it wasn't so much a funeral as a celebration of a good man's life. Yes, there were plenty of sniffles and more than a few tears, but there was also a great deal of laughter—as Barton's hero, Jim Valvano, might have scripted it—as well as the lasting impression of a man whose career was devoted to motivating others to be greater, perhaps, than they ever thought they could be. "He loved the Geneva community, and the Geneva community loved him back," said Barton's son, Scott. One theme that kept repeating, over and over, from relatives and friends, former students and athletes who stood to speak Tuesday, was how much Barton cared about and respected …

Mr. Vitton...so good to see your name out here, too. So much of what they talk about for Coach Barton was his time spent coaching guys' sports, but he was such an extraordinary coach for track, too. We were so very lucky to get to work with him and I was so sad to hear of his passing. I'll always remember his booming, encouraging words from the bleachers when I was running. more ›
