Barney established B. A. Karbank & Co. in 1950, and served as its Chairman until his death in 2005. Barney also served on the Boards of Directors for: First Federal Bank of Kansas City; Chicago Title Insurance Co. (Kansas City division); Johnson County Mortgage Co.; CORFAC International(R) (Corporate Facilities Advisors); and served on the boards of many other financial and commercial enterprises.
Barney Karbank's father Arthur owned a fish market. Arthur didn't want Barney to work in the fish market because he was concerned that the wet, slippery floors would be dangerous for Barney (Barney had polio as a child). Also, the work was physically demanding and the work environment was not very pleasant.
In early 1951 Barney sold to the Denenbeim family an old hotel building on the northeast corner of 9th and McGee Street. I found a wrecking contractor, a parking operator and put the deal together. As luck would have it, early in 1951 I was walking near my office and ran into Bill Campbell, vice president of Herbert V. Jones & Co., who congratulated me on the hotel deal.
