It was an honor and privilege to meet and get to hunt Mt. Lion with Ollie and his close friend Layne. His stories and trophy room won't be forgotten .

So long, Ollie. You are a treasure. Best wishes to family and friends.

When you met him, he made an impression. When you spent time with him, he made an impact. If he disliked you, you knew it. If he liked you, you knew it. Ollie was a helluva man, a man's man. My family and I am honored to have spent a small part of his life with him.

Ollie;
we had many good trips together!
I hope your family visited before it was too late. Ed.

Ollie was a special person to both Roxane and me. I remember the time that I was asked to do the Eulogy at his and my friend, Chuck Westenburg's funeral, which was a very hard thing to do. After the service, Ollie walked up to me, put his arm around my shoulder and told me that I was a special guy for doing such a good job. It is something I will remember for the rest of my life, because it came from a man that I admired and looked up to. He will truly be missed.

Ollie Barney was a true American Southwest original. The likes of him will never be seen again. I am thankful to have known him. God bless you and keep you Ollie.

Ollie was my uncle,what a unique man he was and God Bless him!

God Bless my uncle. What a great man to look up too!
