He was a graduate of Southwest High School in Minneapolis, attended Mankato State University and earned his degree in aviation from Metro State University. He loved to travel and had a great sense of humor. Barton was predeceased by mother Dawn, and grandparents George & Sally “Toots” Margulies, and Max &Nina Cottle. He is survived by his beloved wife Yanling Li and adored son Richie; father Richard Cottle (Susan Henderson); sisters Elissa Cottle (Kent Schumacher) and Rabbi Rebecca Cottle Epstein (Barak); aunt Evelyn Cottle Raedler (John); nephews Jesse LaVercombe and Lucas Schumacher; and nieces Noa, Aviya and Sonia Epstein. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him: his family, friends and colleagues. Funeral services 1:00 p.m. TUESDAY, June 6, at the ADATH YESHURUN CEMETERY CHAPEL, 5605 France Ave, Edina, MN.
