reporting: cell phone caller's last name was Barnett? or Burnett? called wife / has 3 young children at home,

My grandfather, who was a civil engineer in Poland during WWII, was shot by the Nazis for refusing to help them rebuild a bridge destroyed by the Polish underground. His heroism and memory will live on for generations in our family. His bravery is a daily inspiration for me, 45 years later.

Mr. Barnett will be remembered in the same way by his family for generations to come. Although his children will no longer have a father, they have a memory and honor that can never be taken away.
