Smile Of The Day

What makes Dave Barker smile?  “My family,” said the 65-year-old Noblesville resident.  He and his wife, Rhonda, have been married 39 years and have three sons, Daniel Barker and Victor Barker, and the late Jeremy Barker; and eight grandchildren, ages 4-18. He is a deacon at Clarksville Christian Church. Barker is semi-retired and working as a farmhand at Flanders Amazing Grain. He is a 23-year volunteer firefighter/EMT at White River Township Volunteer Fire Department and retired in January 2022.
