Duane E. "Barney" Law

Duane E. "Barney" Law, age 79, of Dover, entered into the joy of the Lord, Tuesday, June 21, 2016. Barney courageously battled a rare blood disorder for several years. He participated in research through Cleveland Clinic in the hope of helping others.

Barney loved the Lord and was a faithful member of Winfield United Methodist Church. He was a devoted and caring husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather who was extremely proud of his family and their accomplishments.

He was fond of horses and owned several over the years. He enjoyed watching sports. Additionally, in his younger days, Barney enjoyed bowling, roller-skating and racing go-carts. Barney was skilled, handy, and could repair almost anything. He was always willing to help others.

He will be missed dearly by his family which includes his wife of 55 years, Marlyn K. Waggy Law, whom he married on September 17, 1960; his daughters, Vivian (Rocky) Mosley of Bolivar, and Kimberly (Mark) Montgomery of Mineral City; his sons, Michael (Elys) Law of Wooster, and Kenneth (Terri) Law of Poland, Ohio; his grandchildren, Heidi (Shane) Sanner, Joel Ott, Heather (Chad) Peterman, Rachael, Michael, Samuel and Abigail Mosley, Brittaney (Jacob) Beatty, Madison Montgomery, Taylor Ross, Jerry and Mark Einsiedel; his great-grandchildren, Hunter, Titan and Maverick Peterman, Mariah and Aria Sanner, and a baby girl due in September; his brother-in-law, Dale Shutt of Dover; his sister in law Marjorie (Steve) Llewellen; his many nieces and nephews; and his beloved companion, his dog, Sadie.

In addition to his parents, Barney was preceded in death by his step-mother, Clara Walker; his sisters, Ruth Kalp and Bessie Harper; and his brother, Clyde "Tommy" Law.
