He was a member of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church, the Palm Coast Elks Lodge, and Pine Lakes Country Club. For many years, Barney was an active member of the Marine Corp League, volunteering his time for their annual banquet and the Toys for Tots Drive. A truly talented handyman-Mr. Fix-It, he could always be found in his workshop repairing or manufacturing items around the house or building toys for his sons; Soap Box Derby Cars, sleds, baseball backstops and skateboards to name a few. He was a tireless volunteer and at one point was a Volunteer Connecticut State Trooper receiving recognition for his many hours of service. A true family man, Barney also enjoyed reading, was an avid golfer, played softball and was quick to help in any situation always having a Band Aid in his pocket. He is survived by his four sons; Barney P Spurlock and his wife Frances and children Donny, Sam and Paige of St. Petersburg FL, Christopher A. Spurlock and his wife Terry and sons Malcolm and Cotter of Cranford NJ, David M. Spurlock and his wife Rana and daughter Sarah of Gaithersburg MD, and Michael J.
