My sincere condolances to Regina & family. Barney & Regina were customers at the pharmacy I worked at, and I always looked forward to talking with them. Barney was always so kind and generous with the compliments.

I was saddened to learn of Barney’s passing. My sincere condolences to Regina and daughters Melissa, Cauleen and Alisha.
Barney and I were friends and classmates through Elementary, Hand Jr. High and McCaskey High School. Barney was admired and respected by all. During the Fall Seasons of our Hand Jr High yrs., we would ride our bikes to school. Barney had a unique black 5-speed English (racing style) bike,..it was the “Rolls-Royce” of bikes. In those chilly early morning school days, Barney would stop at my house, to be joined with 2 of our other friends and together, would bike about a mile to school.
Barney was a popular trend-setter of clothing & hair style of our 1954-55 (Rock & Roll) era…Peg-pants, blue suede shoes and suede belts. Everone, including myself, copied Barney’s style.
During the summers of our teen years, Barney and our neighborhood crew, spent a lot of time taking bike trips, school playground activities, swimmings pools, etc.
We started High School together at J.P. McCaskey. Barney was one of the most popular guys and respected by all at McCaskey…He was “one of the good guys”!!
As we transitioned into adulthood, our paths crossed many times and on into mid 50’s. We always had great conversations whenever those path crossing meetings occured.
Barney was an amazing guy with an amazing sense of humor and an extremely kind and generous soul. Barney shall always be “one of the good guys”. I will always remember Barney!
