Rest in peace Barney. You will be sadly missed you were always there as a neighbour and friend always willing to help day or night. 🙏🙏
Wee Barney. You will be sadly missed. I remember the first time I met you when I was visiting my grandparents in the summer as a young lad many years ago. I also got to know you now as an adult and you will always have a special place in many of our hearts for your energy, positivity and amazing outlook in life. Stopping to have the craic with you was always a highlight and a tutorial. You were a very special person to be around. Thank you for the light you brought to so many. Rest in Piece.

My.thoughts and prayers with Barney’s family and friends. He was a great man who looked out for our family when we first bought our house in Derryreel. I had a final poignant chat with him only a few weeks ago, I was aware of his illness but Barney was as Stoic as I would have expected. I will miss our detailed chats about world politics and life in general. Rest in Peace Barney. Love Sean, Deboragh, Cuann and Clodagh
Rest in peace Barney manys the crack at the deli always a real gentleman 🙏
Barney, it’s a sad day for sure; we were privileged to have known you. Without a doubt, Derryreel is a lesser place without you now. We will sorely miss your spirit and neighbourliness.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
God Bless and Rest in Peace

Wee Barney, you will be sadly missed.
I met you at Frankie’s wedding — it was a grand occasion, and meeting you was one of the highlights of the day. Your warmth, humor, and spirit left a lasting impression.
From America, Big John and Peggy send our condolences and our thanks for the joy you brought to so many. You were truly one of a kind.
Rest in Peace.
