“In loving memory of Richard Barta, Dick lived a rich life - rich in family, faith, patriotism, and law enforcement. He served our Nation as a South Vietnam Brown-Water-Navy veteran in the hotly-contested I Corps, He gave exemplary law enforcement service to our great state of Kansas, Shawnee County, and City of Topeka. We are all richer for knowing him. We VN veterans salute you and wish you Godspeed. To his family, our sincere condolences. There was no better man than Sheriff Barta.”
