Bernard A. Barney Sadowski, 81, of Camillus and formerly of Solvay, passed away at home on Friday, July 25, 2008 surrounded by his loving family. Born at home on First Street in Solvay on Tuesday, June 21, 1927, he was the son of Ignatius Aloysius Sadowski and Teofila Rinkiewicz Sadowski. Following graduation from Solvay High School, Barney joined the Army in 1945 and served as a clerk in the Judge Advocate General's office in Berlin, Germany. He married Florence H. Owens in 1948 and eventually had four sons. After graduating from Cortland State College, Barney had a career in radio advertising sales that spanned nearly 50 years, including employment with WHEN, WNDR and WNTQ radio stations. He also taught at SUNY Oswego. Barney loved his family, his camp on Sandy Pond, SU football, bowling and the game of golf which was his great passion.

For several years Barney coached Westvale Optimist baseball teams. He previously volunteered as chairman of the Camillus Parks and Recreation Dept. and was instrumental in establishing Shove Park and Reed Webster Park. Barney was a caring "people person" with many friends and an unlimited reservoir of puns and jokes and will be greatly missed. Barney was predeceased by his brothers, Joseph and Alexander whom he greatly loved and respected. Surviving are his loving wife of 60 years, the former Florence Owens; devoted sons and daughters-in-law, Bernard D. and Deb Sadowski of Clay, David J. and Lois Sadowski of Syracuse, Mark K. and Dianna Sadowski of Norwalk, Connecticut and Kevin P. and Gia Sadowski of Syracuse; grandchildren, Nadine, Sandra, Bernie, Eric, Aaron, Sidney, Jake and great grandchildren, Samantha and Andrew Sadowski.
