I worked with Barney at H.Q so many years ago. And then at Lowes. I remember one of the things he wanted in life was grandchildren..He was thrilled when he got them. He had a great sense of humor. He loved his family so very much. Barney, You are at peace with God. I will miss you my friend.

I got to know Barney during my time with Lowe's and I can honestly say losing him is akin to one of the brightest lights going out in that building. I'm praying for all those affected by his passing.

Friendly, light-hearted with a unique humor. A consummate neighbor for 15 years. Sneaking cigarettes, quick "Wilson-style" conversations across the fence, always a good word and a wonderful family. Bob "Barney" you will be sorely missed. Rest easy my AF brother. A grateful nation thanks you for your service, Senior!

I will miss Barney’s fun loving spirit, his humor, and his “Get back to work, slacker!” attitude. His absence is already evident. My deepest sympathies are with all of you. God Bless and keep you always. Until we meet again.
