I was just thinking of Barney the other day. I was thinking of the fun we had on outings with the Southern California Tuna Club. The last time I saw Barney was at Joe Jost where we ran into each other over a polish sausage sandwich. We had a fun time catching up. Charlie Legeman

I first met Barney when I was 12 years old and he was 22, when he visited our neighbors Hank and Pony Ridder. Later as I became a young adult, I worked at the IPT and met up with Barney again. We shared mutual fishing interests and participated in several Southern California Tuna Club events. I always enjoyed Barney's company. He was a good friend. Charlie Legeman

I am sorry to learn of Barney's death. We enjoyed great times on fishing trips with the Southern California Tuna Club. Barney was a great human and a great sportsman. He will be missed.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. We have been Barney's neighbors in Seacliff, Huntington Beach, for the last 28 years. Everytime I had a problem with one of my plants Barney would give me advise or even treat them back to live. Now you can take of God's garden, Barney! Rest in peace! Love, Christina
