The loss of one of our contributors!

Saddened to learn of the passing of our resident curmudgeon Dr. F.X. Bernard McDermott M.D. (Barney McDermott) the Blog won't be the same without him.

This is so sad to hear that Barney has passed. Does anyone know what happened to him, was he sick for a while? We will all miss his contributions to our Blog. God Bless his family and my prayers and thoughts go out to them. Karen Glenn

i'm sorry to hear of barney's passing. his rapier wit was clearly evident in his comments and signatures. i would always check the recent comments (when they were available) to look for his name and skip to his comments before reading the entries of the day. kinda like getting the paper and skipping straight to the comics.

i'm sure we'll all be giving him a nod here & there in an attempt to leave clever comments; i daresay few will ever be of his caliber.

although i didn't really know him, i miss him terribly. my condolences to his family.

God Bless You, Barney.
