Uncle Barney was a very happy and loving man. He was also strong, of good character and had a lot of respect for his family, especially all his brothers and sisters.



Comfort and support are with Auntie Bun to help carry her through the loss.



Lots of Love xoxo

There will be a recurring word in these postings for Barney, and that word is gentleman. Another word that comes to my mind is dapper. The man could dress! Thank God for memory, as I have some wonderful pictures in my mind at the moment - twirling on the dance floor at a St. Paddy party, lessons on wine, fine dining tips, and always feeling alive when with him and Bun. There was always laughter. Bun, peace be with you in your memories. Love Deb.
