• I'll always remember Uncle Barney. We used to visit my Grandmother (Nanny) often when I was growing up. Barney, Caroline and Greg never failed to come to Nanny's when we were there. Nanny's little house was full of people, all glad to be with each other. Barney will always be remembered by me as a happy, up-beat person, that's what I always saw when I was growing up. He loved his family and my Dad's family as well. He always took an interest in me and what I was doing.

  Barney will be missed!
