Barney was well respected by all the mariners within Exxon Shippings Inland fleet. When we had trouble with an engine or something else mechanical, Barney was the guy you wanted to call. He was the only guy I knew who could "fix it" over the phone. Later when I came ashore, Barney treated me with respect from day one. That made my transition ashore much easier. Barney had a tender and kind heart. He and his wife help our daughter to get into Parkview Baptist. She is now off to college and we are thankful for her time at Parkview. You are a good man Barney.

Dear Daddy,
There's just no words to describe how much I love you and how much I miss you. Your unconditional love and patience helped shape the person I am today. You touched the lives of so many with your kindness and their respect and love for you will always surround us.
There are so many things that I always wanted to say to you, but never go around to it. For some reason, I thought that you would grace my life with your presence for another 20 years. God had other plans and I have to respect that as difficult as it may be. I never told you "thank you" for marrying my Mom whom I love so very much. God has always watched out and taken care of us. He knew what we needed to be happy and blessed... Mom.
I will always have a hole in my heart, but take great comfort in knowing that you are smiling down on Mom, Krista, and me. One day we will be seeing your smiling face to be reunited forever. Until then, please know that I will continue to work hard to make you proud. Krista and I will watch out over and help Mom any way that we can.
Love Always, Tam

Barney and I became friends early in 1976 while he was 'Big Chief' on the 'Kentucky'. He was always a tremondous help and true friend to me as I learned the ropes in my job and on through all the years I was privileged to have known him. I will miss him a lot. My love & prayers go out to his family.

To the family,
I was honored to know Barney for many years from his visits to the donut shop (Mary Lee Donuts). I always enjoyed laughing and talking and drinking coffee with such an endearing person. He was always in such a great frame of mind and never a cross word passed his lips. I will truly miss him. The donut shop will be the same without him.
Sincerely Yours,
Andy Hunter
