Our classmate Barney died June 13, 2014, in Carlisle, Pa.

Barney attended the Calvert School, where he was on the football, swimming, and tennis teams. At Princeton he majored in English and graduated with high honors. He was a member of the swimming team and was assistant program director for WPRU. Barney was a member of Terrace Club, where he served as secretary.

Following graduation, Barney went to midshipman’s school at Columbia University. He was assigned to the USS Maloy, which was the command post for the 29th Infantry Division during the landings on Omaha Beach.

He later was employed by Hercules Inc., where he had foreign assignments, the last of which was as director of Far East operations. During this time, Barney was president of the American Chamber of Commerce of Japan and served as chairman of the Asian Pacific American Chamber of Commerce.

He married Taeko Yasuda in 1974 and retired in 1986 when he and Taeko moved back to his home in Carlisle, Pa.

Barney continued his academic pursuits and earned a master’s degree in public administration in 1990 from Shippensburg University. During this time, he served in several community activities, including — and most importantly — as a director of Princeton in Asia.

Barney is survived by Taeko and their sons, Christopher and James.
