y in 2010, he began working regularly with Stub Pape, doing home improvement and property maintenance. Barney was an active member of Faith Community Church where he served as a trustee & volunteer janitor. He enjoyed fishing in his earlier years, and as an avid railroad enthusiast, he took great joy in watching trains and running his own model trains, of which his favorite railway was the Chicago Great Western. He enjoyed starting his mornings having a cup of coffee with the guys at KJ's in Maquoketa, but most of all he enjoyed spending time with his family. Barney was a humble man, a loving husband, a warm and caring father and grandfather, and a loyal friend. He will be missed far more than he ever knew. Those left to honor Barney's memory include his wife, Melissa Ann Hankner of Maquoketa, IA; children, Molly (Mike) Heiar of Dubuque, IA, and Danny (Megan) Hankner of Davenport, IA; and 4 grandchildren, Henry and Joy Heiar and Macy and Charlee Hankner. He was preceded in death by his parents, and grandson Caleb Hankner. In lieu of other expressions of sympathy, a Barney J. Hankner memorial fund has been established.
