At 90 years young and a resident of Richardson for 63 years, Barney Carbajal is the perfect example of an unsung hero in our local community. Through his volunteerism, he has and continues to give to many thousands of our neighbors spanning multiple decades. His spirit has inspired many to take up the volunteer cause including his children and grandchildren.

Barney’s volunteerism began prior to retiring from Texas Instruments over 25 years ago. As his daughter stated, she can’t remember a time when he wasn’t volunteering. Barney sat on the Richardson Library Board for two terms helping facilitate the construction of Richardson’s current library, was an Assistant Scoutmaster with the Boy Scouts of America, and in the 60’s was an active community representative to the R.I.S.D. School Board ensuring schools with students predominantly of color had a voice at meetings. He also served as the Secretary/ Treasurer of the Richardson Senior Golf League organizing multiple charity golf events, including the Network of Community Ministries Annual Golf Outing fundraising event that he led and supported for over nine years. Upon retirement, Barney became a staple at Network. As a regular volunteer there for over 25 years now, he sees it as “an obligation to give back” to our neighbors.

At St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church, Barney contributes his time and efforts as one of the original volunteers helping with food distribution, in partnership with the North Texas Food Bank and Catholic Charities of Dallas. He also serves as a co-director and team member of St. Paul’s ACTS (Adoration, Community, Theology, Service) ministry leading retreats, prayer groups, mentoring others, and more. Barney is also an active volunteer with Kolbe Prison Ministries where he participates in retreats held at the Hutchins State Jail.
