What a wonderful story!!!! I don't watch the news very often due all of the bad things going on in the world. It warms my heart & gives me hope for humanity when I see stories like this. Thanks so much for sharing!!!
he's my uncle : ) my great grandmother betty's sister is married to him : ) my name is brianna and my moms is zina : ) lives in summerset gotta love the family : ) he truly is a kind man thats what the world needs to learn how to do instead of fighting
hey there is a guy in camden nj for over 20 years has stood on the street there giving out bible verses no church or group just copies of bible verses nice guy wonder if he is still there???
I've got a video of him, too - only it's raining and he's still doing his thing...wearing a yellow rubber slicker, bringing sunshine to a rainy day. I love Bermuda and I love Johnny. I'll try to edit it down and post it soon.
I spent 5 months on that incredible island in the sun and am so happy to have experienced good old Johnny Barnes waving to me in the morning. I'll never forget it.
If you go there....you will see why he's smiling and throwing kisses. You will too after you visit this Gem. Clean, safe, friendly, beautiful, classy......not like any other Caribbean island.....plus it's NOT in the Caribbean. Exquisite.
When I was a kid, I used to live and work in Bermuda (briefly). I dreaded waking up every morning to go to work. I used to look forward to seeing him every morning. Thank you for letting me see him do his thing once more. even if it's only in the comforts of my aunt's basement.
I love that man! But he must be there longer than 15 years, because the first time I went to "Bermy" was 1993 and he was already there, blessing and greeting the people. Props!!
Johnny Barnes has made alot of people smile. I lived in Bermuda for six years and the first time I saw him I thought he was just some nutter but I soon found out he was a Bermuda Legend. It's nice they have a statue of him and that it was put there while he is still alive. I hope he still is now. Bermudians have a lot to smile about living in such a beautiful place.Shame it is so expensive.
Johnny Barns represents the spirit of Bermuda 100%. In fact, he is Bermuda. I do think however he should have a trim, as his beard could be distracting to drivers.
I LOVE Johnny...I use to wave to Johnny every morning since I was little right on up until I left to come school... seeing this video makes me miss home so much....
true inspiration, had one of the most surreal of moments in my life when me, my husband and Johnny holding hands said a prayer in the middle of rush hour on a traffic Island. Could you just imagine doing that in the uk!!!
Absolutely love this! He's such an inspiration to all who see him. I know he's impacted lives as he's passed on love. May this bee a lesson to us all.. to love unconditionally everyone we meet. For who knows the lives we can impact with just a simple smile!
How wonderful - just like you - the only way in this world is love and kindness nothing else really matters. May all the angels of the world unite to make this place a better world x
