My heart felt sympathy to all of Barney's family in this time of sorrow. I worked with Barney at River Bend for 30 years before I retired. Barney was a great friend and we had many laughs during our working time together. He always had a smile and a friendly gretting no matter when I saw him. Those of us who knew him will miss him greatly. In this time of need, may God comfort the family and give them strength during this time of need. Dennis Castleberry
