As a Malden High School Class of 1967 member, I have memories of Barry being handsome and fit throughout high school and at all the reunions. He was such a good person. My sincere condolences to the family for their great loss.

I haven't seen Barry since Malden High School but fondly remember him as having a smile on his face, a positive attitude and "bigger shoulders" than anyone else. I heard the news from a friend who also was deeply saddened. My sister, mother and myself send our condolences to the family

Barry Shopnick & Phyllis Flint at Malden High 30th Reunion

Barry & I played together as young children. I even tried out his weight lifting set in the basement. I remember his mom Florence just a little and the picture of his brother in uniform she had in the living room.
I have a picture of Barry at the Malden High 30th reunion and last saw him at the 35th reunion. I could not make it to the 40th. It is so sad that we will not be able to see him at the 45th this year.
My sincerest sympathy to his family, which I never had the pleasure of getting to know, since I have lived in Rhode Island since the 60's. My mom still lives in Malden. -- I will be thinking of all of you and wish I could be there for the service. Love, Carolyn Brown
