John R Barland Obituary
We bid farewell to John R Barland of Dubuque, Iowa, born in Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, whose journey of life gracefully concluded on March 7, 2026 at the age of 85. John touched countless lives with warmth and kindness, leaving behind cherished memories that will forever echo in hearts.
