Barcus Ronald Twombley, Jr

Barcus Ronald Twombley Jr., 79 years old, of Gilmer, TX, passed away on May 24, 2022. Barcus was born December 13, 1942 in Delphos, Kansas. His parents moved the family to the West Coast when Barcus was very young and he truly loved the salt air & fog of the Pacific Northwest. Barcus worked in the lumber mills and even did a stint on a commercial fishing boat off the Alaska coast line. He loved nothing more than sitting on the bank of the river or beach with a fishing pole. Throughout his life, Barcus was a great story and joke teller; fueled most likely by his avid reading of the newspaper, mystery and crime thriller novels. He is predeceased by his parents Barcus & Catherine Twombley, spouse Bernice Faye Thornton, son Barcus Ronald Twombley III, daughter Catherine Lehigh Linder, sisters Marguerite Twombley, Patricia Cline, brothers Robert Carl, James and Billy Twombley. He leaves behind sisters Bonny Todd and Judy Young, daughter Lorie Graziose, son Michael Burke and numerous grandchildren. The family wishes to thank Gilmer Nursing & Rehab for their loving health care.
