Gone, but not forgotten. Barney will always be with us in our hearts and memories. I was deeply saddened by the news of his passing. I first met Barney when I was visiting my sister, Char. I had just driven over 1600 miles in a new car that had the smallest gas tank. Even though the car was only a week old and Char had connections at Trecek that's how I met Barney. It was the best car buy experience. Needless to say I drove home in Buick Terraza. Char and I would run into Barney a few times and in those times I felt like I knew him all my life. His friendship & sense of humor will be missed, but Barney will never be forgotten.
Love & prayers,
