Gary Barnes was a great person. A Clemson football hall of famer that moved back to Clemson after his NFL career and served as the Clemson municipal judge for 30 years. A lot of Clemson students who got into trouble had to face Judge Barnes who offered advice and fairness to many. He was a fine Christian man who would work out at a local gym with fellow Clemson legend, Harold Olson, up until his health problems made it impossible about a year ago.

A little know fact about the NFL career of Gary Barnes...he caught the first touchdown pass in Atlanta Falcons history in 1966, their inaugural season.

Gary will be missed by many. God bless his family and friends.

Remember reading Vince Lombardi book RUN TO DAYLIGHT in junior high and Gary was mentioned several times in book as being rookie from Clemson. That was a big deal to me back in the days when CU didn’t get much pub

Gary used to work out with some of us during the summer while he was still in the NFL while I was a student. He was really a nice man. I saw the first TD pass that he caught for the Falcons. I think it was a pretty long one.
