Barney was one of the first athletic trainers I met. Because of him, I became an athletic trainer. Each day, I make every effort to pass on the lessons taught by him, and the sense of humor he shared with all those around him.

With my deepest sympathy for Barney's wife and family.

Denise,
We are so thankful for the wonderful times we have shared with you and Barney and we will miss him tremendously. You two have shared so much love with us. Rachel and I will always hear his beautiful voice when we read Olive, My Love. We played the little basketball shooting game today and thought about Barney and felt his love and encouragement. He has touched so many in his lifetime and he will be remembered. Let us know how we can support you in the months and years ahead.
Much Love

Barney, we will miss you and your great personality. Me and my sons, Matt and Darryl have great memories of you at Giant camp for several years. You always got us thru the week! You also told us not to"worry" and don't push yourself to hard bc the GIANTS were not going to sign any of you! lol. I remember a few years ago you were visiting ATT park and I saw you in the line for the Taxis and I asked you if you needed a ride to your Hotel and you and your great wife hopped in my car and a cop was behind us and told us to hurry it up! RIP my friend.Until we meet again.
