Cherished “Pa Barney” of Jesse Strong (Carly), Samantha Strong (Greg), Cole Stark (Madison), Jackson Stark (Caitlyn), Quinten White and April White (Allen); and great-grandpa of Casey Stark and Nova Stark. Survived by his brother, Gayle and Marlene Haldenby; and sisters-in-law, Erlma Jean Haldenby and Margie Haldenby.

Barney loved horses and the land. He farmed for more than 50 years, just outside of Kincardine. He enjoyed playing cards, mainly euchre and rummy. He was a fixer and liked tinkering with motors and equipment. In his later years, Barney would ride his scooter down to Tim Hortons, to enjoy the simple pleasure of a cup of coffee with friends. Barney loved his family deeply and the words “what do ya know,” something he always asked when he saw them, will be fondly remembered by his grandchildren. His family thanks all the staff at the hospitals in Walkerton and Chesley, and London University Hospital, for their kindness and the compassionate care they provided. Family will receive friends at the Davey-Linklater Funeral Home, Kincardine, Monday, Jan. 13, 2025, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., followed by the funeral at 1 p.m., with Rev. Rob Hiscox officiating. Interment, Kincardine Cemetery, with a reception to follow at the funeral home. If so desired, memorial donations to Diabetes Canada or the Kidney Foundation of Canada, would be appreciate by Barney’s family.
