Not sure what to say?

I was fortunate enough to sing for the folks at BLANCO`S last night (8-6-2009) The dream lives on. I never knew Barry until last night. I received an introduction the moment I walked through the door, even though we lost him over two years ago. Country Music lovers should be so thankful to Barry and all the fine folks at Blanco`s.

Barry was my roommate with johnny yelverton at Allen Military Academy on 1964.He was very honest and sincere with all the students, His human quality and spirit of service to everybody, was Barry's presentation's card. I remember Him as a good friend. My sincere condolences to his relatives. Atte Profr.Tirso A. Gonzalez.

So many people have been talking about Barry, he and Blancos are legendary. I didn't go very often & missed him when he wasn't there, the music and crowd always seemed more festive when he was around. My dad was also a doc, when we met I remember a toast he made to "good medicine" as he grinned with a little sparkle in his eye. A friend wrote a song about how she hopes they have guitars in Heaven, wish we'd made it to the service. Another friend just...

I think that I may have been Barry's 1st girlfriend. We met at Lamar during summer school.He was so sweet and endearing even at the age of 15.I had "skipped" a grade,a common practice at the time and probably felt so much more sophisticated than Barry.I wasn't but I'm sure I felt that way.
Barry gave me a beautiful pin for my birthday that I still wear. It's a lovely gold iris or orchid, with a small pearl in the center of the bloom.

I ran into Ernest at the...

I treasured our time together. I will see Barry again in Heaven.

With Love and Happy Memories.

It was with great sadness that I recently learned of Barry DeBakey's passing. Over the 30 years that I worked for Dr. Michael DeBakey, I was fortunate to have had contact with Barry. He always had a big hug and smile for me and I will never forget him. He was always so considerate and thoughtful and always took time to visir.

I would like to express my deepest sympathy to Dr. and Mrs. Michael DeBakey, Olga DeBakey, Dr. Lois and Miss Selma DeBakey and to Barry's son and to all the...

When Hondo's closed many years ago, the regulars were thrilled to have it reopen as Blanco's. Barry welcomed our motley crew with open arms and embraced the Hondo's traditions. Under Barry’s ownership, that little lot on West Alabama became a Houston legend and a jumping point for many talented musicians.
It didn’t matter if you hadn’t stopped in for 10 years or more, Barry knew you were there and welcomed you “home” again. Deepest condolences to the DeBakey family and the Blanco’s...

To the DeBakey Family:

It is only recently that I leaarned of Barry's death. It has been many years since I last saw Barry however I reflect on the good times. Back then we belonged to the same cultural and social organization, bowled in the same bowling league and had many mutual friends. We had lots of good times at Blanco's. It saddened me to hear of his death.

Please accept the sincere condolences from the Board of Directors and the Staff of The Living Bank

We wish to thank Barry for his support of The Living Bank's mission to save lives through organ donation.
