Byron Ray Hall

I attended Mount Vernon Nazarene from 1971 through spring of 1976. I watched the food service change from the first food service to what Barney created. In the fall of 1971, an innovative English course was taught outside of town. The professors were there three days each week with different students. Barney organized suppers all three days each week all fall and had them sent to us at the English class.

Recently I worked on campus for a few years and saw the latest of what Pioneer is...

My thoughts and prayers are with you as you mourn Barney's passing and celebrate his abundant life. As a student at MVNC, class of '77, we always told him that the college should name the cafeteria "Barney Hall." He was a great guy and I have many fond memories of him in the early years of our school. He will be missed.

Bob and I are so sorry to hear about Barney. He did an awesome job feeding us, the pioneer class, under some hard conditions. He will not be forgotten.

I am saddened to learn of your loss! I enjoyed being with Barny and playing tennis with him while I was a student at MVNU. May the Lord bless you and comfort you in your sadness and grief.

To all the Barney Hall family, I am so very sorry to hear about your loss. I was right behind the pioneer class at MVNC in the 2nd year and we could always count on Barney to bring a smile to our face and laughter into our lives as he would joke around and kid with us on campus. Barney we will miss your warm, kind spirit. Heaven is rejoicing now.

Dear Jenny and Family: We were so sad to hear of the passing of our long-time friend, Barney. What wonderful memories we have of the early days at MVNC. You are certainly in our prayers.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Barney was not only a great boss, he was a great man.
