What a beautiful tribute to your dear friend and fellow journalist Barney. So sorry for your loss. Our community will be diminished in many ways without him.
My condolences to you, Jerry. This is the hard time of life, when we must say goodbye to cherished friends. Your tribute here, and your colleagues' which I've just read, do the man justice. Barney Brantingham was beloved.
