Barney was my buddy at the New Castle Market for years we used to compare stories about our auction and flea markets finds and talk for hours while his dear wife Dot ignored us and read her book. I will always remember him fondly. Hope he is at peace and at a casino winning with Dot. Judy and Jimmy Jones
