June-December 1977 but I don't recall working with him 'in the craft'. I seem to recall he had recently been a member here on TO's. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

An avid golfer that was always found on the links in his off time.
Barney was a nick name he earned at an early age. Because he resembled the character from the Flintstones Barney Rubble. Am saddened by his passing. RIP Barney and don't forget to yell "Fore".

When APL set up a Quality team with SP to improve APL train service, Barney was selected to be on the team. He had a lot of excellent input and helped reduce some of the delays associated with train operation. He will be missed. Rest in Peace Barney!
