Barney had two brothers and eight sisters, of whom three sisters survive him, Ruby Woodward, Opal Bertagnolli, and Eva Helms.
He was predeceased by his wife of sixty-one years, Alta Helene (Wright) Illum. He was a loving father who leaves behind his four children, Steven Illum, Harland Illum, Cindy Illum Jones, and Kevin Illum. Barney was a beloved grandfather to twelve and great-grandfather to nineteen.
He was a highly intelligent man, always keeping apprised of the current news, who rose to supervisory positions in his employment and briefly instructed at a state college.
