Our Family Tribute is the warm and spirited memoir of Jennifer and Bill Barr, written as a heartfelt gift to their family — past, present, and future. Rooted in the rich ancestral histories of two prominent Chicago families, the book traces Jennifer and Bill's separate childhoods through the post-war 1950s, their coming-of-age during the Vietnam era, and the chance dinner that brought them together in 1978. From their famously chaotic wedding on Lake Geneva — complete with torrential rain, a crashed catering truck, and a pre-cut wedding cake — to raising two children in Chicago and Hinsdale, building and renovating homes, Bill's decades-long legal career, and Jennifer's boundless energy for family, travel, and community, the story is one of a life fully and joyfully lived. The later chapters follow their children Braden and Liz into careers, marriages, and parenthood, and celebrate the arrival of four grandchildren. Closing with a family trip to a villa in Tuscany and a move to Denver to be near Liz and her family, Our Family Tribute is exactly what its title promises — a celebration of integrity, adventure, laughter, and enduring love across generations.
