Letters: About Jon Barber

Cruel coverage

I was so sorry to read about the passing of our former county commissioner, Jon Barber, but I will never understand why the Salisbury Post has to bring up his past mistakes and the past mistakes of others when they leave this earth. That is the most cruel and disrespectful thing I have ever heard of. The Post seems to have a habit of doing that. You need to think twice before you print something and consider the feelings of the family and friends at a time like that.

Poor taste

I found it very poor taste to detail Jon Barber’s personal problems in his front page death announcement. He served Rowan as a commissioner and was well known in the community. We all have personal issues that need no advertising. I hope you’re out of business before I die: that might require a special issue.
