I extend condolences to Barney's family for their loss. I knew Barney for many years and his smile and sharp sense of humor always made my days go better. He ALWAYS dealt fairly and truthfully with me and the many jokes he pulled on me won't be forgotten. The loss of a character like Barney leaves a void in our hearts, BUT the memory of Barney and the character he had and lived by and shared with everyone should encourage each of us to improve ours.
