Barry and Sydney Mazer

Barry Mazer Obituary

A Boca Raton family and the community surrounding the private Pine Crest School are in mourning after a crash Sunday killed one of the school's trustees and his 2-year-old child Sunday.

The crash, on Interstate 95 north of Sample Road in Broward County, killed Barry A. Mazer, 40, and 2-year-old Sydney Mazer at about 4:35 p.m. after a driver rear-ended the Dodge sport utility vehicle in which they were riding, the Florida Highway Patrol reported.

The crash seriously injured Mazer's children Ty, Alyssa, Madison and Zachary, ranging from 7 months to 8 years old.

Mazer was CEO of Boynton Beach-based Aviation, Power & Marine, Inc., the world's largest independent distributor of parts and components for aeroderivative gas turbine engines, according to the company's Web site.

So sorry to hear of this heartbreaking tragedy! I just learned of it (Sept. 2014) through another Massapequa friend. Barry was a classmate of mine at Fairfield - where I remember him as a sweet, quiet & shy boy. We were in the same class in 6th grade. Said a special prayer for his family today. God bless each one.

Dear Mazer Family,
I knew Barry when we were students and members of the wrestling team at Massapequa High School.While I had not seen Barry since 1984, I often wondered what he was up to. It is not in the least bit surprising that he became a successful and respected member of the community. He was a great guy and I am sure a great father. I will say a prayer for Barry and Sydney.

Barry & Sydney,

It's been a long, overwhelming, heart wrenching two years. I miss you so much Barry and miss our chats and your smile! You are in my thoughts each and everyday here @ AP&M and at home. I will always and forever carry you in my heart. The loss is unbearable and the pain will never, ever go away. Thank you for all you've done for me both professionally and personally. I will forever be grateful. Thank you!
Until we meet again, I miss you and Love you so!

Dear Mrs. Mazer:

I met your husband a few years ago in Los Angeles when he was visiting for business. He joined me and a few of our mutual friends for a dance performance at UCLA, dinner at Katana, and later drinks at The Standard.

For some reason he crossed my mind this evening and when I did a search for his name on Google I learned of the tragedy. I'm shocked and although I did not know him well, I am disheartened.

Goodbye Barry and best wishes Mrs. Mazer.

Dawn, Zachary, Maddison, Alyssa, and Ty,
I just found this web page when I was doing a search on the internet. It was so wonderful to see that there was a place to express condolences to you about Barry and Sydney. I was so shocked when I heard about the news from Joyce. I look back on the photos I have off all the fun times we all shared together now and it makes me happy. The other day I was thinking of this funny time when we took the kids to Disney and Barry said something that made me laugh but I had just taken a drink and so the water came spraying out of my mouth instead. I am so glad that I got to share my life with your family and to become Kellie "Mazer" for awhile. I love you all and miss you so much. I am here for you if you ever need someone to talk to, don't hesitate to call.

The ceremony for Barry and Sydney today at Pine Crest was absolutely awe-inspiring. The outdoor classroom looks absolutely beautiful, and the butterfly garden couldn't be more picturesque. A friend of mine (a student at the school) has told me that ever since they built the garden, there have been two butterflies there every day; I cannot help but think that the two are Barry and Sydney. I extend my condolences in honor of them.

My Heart is heavy and my words are few. I knew Barry years ago and only discovered the news today. Barry was a wonderful and caring man with the biggest heart of anyone I have known. He helped me out once when I needed it, with a promise to him to fix what I "messed up" one day. I did. Though we had not spoken for years- my fondness remained... My prayers are with you and your family. Don't stop believing.

Dawn, Although I never had the opportunity to get to know your husband, I know from many that he was a very special man. As for your little Sydney, I will never forget her sweet little face as she was in my son Gianni's gymboree class. With very deepest sympathies, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Mazer Family,
I don't know you, but I know how it feels to lose a child. My son Joey was killed in September by a drunk driver, here in Wellington. There are no words that can describe the heartache that a Mom feels. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Keep your family and friends close, you will need them. Again I'm so sorry for the loss of your daughter and husband. May God help you cope with your terrible loss.

Hello Mrs. Mazer,

I am Samantha's (Sami's) father.
I am gratified and comforted to see that you have so many good people in your life for I know from experience that they are needed.
During my talks with Sami, and Bridget too, we realized that there weren't enough words, but we did come to understand that we could and would honor your family by being sure to do good with our lives and to live them well.
I want to thank you very much for having taken the time to visit Sami it meant a great deal. She cares about you all an awful lot.

ELIOT & BARBARA CHERTOK

Dear Mrs. Mazer –

We are the grandparents of Samantha “Sam” Chertok. Our hearts are broken and saddened as we learn of the horrendous loss befallen to you and your wonderful family.
We are at a loss for words – perhaps these few will help. We learn from reading Greek Tragedy that the ancient Athenians had a tragic sensibility, a strange mixture of doom and exaltation – based on the conviction that good grows out of bad, virtue out of hardship, and that wisdom is born in suffering. “When the world is storm-driven and the bad that happens and the worse that threatens are so urgent as to shut out everything else from view – then we need to know all the strong fortresses of the spirit which men have built through the ages. God, whose law it is that he who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget, falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despite, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.” The optimism in the Greek sensibility was that life was an adventure, perilous indeed, but men are not made for safe havens. The fullness of life is in the hazards of life. And, at the worst, there is that in us which can turn defeat into victory. The Greek speciality was to take grief and turn it into resolution. Resolution will reward both you and your children with
Love and Good Deeds in the years ahead in lasting memory of your young daughter and husband.

Dear Dawn and family,
I am deeply sorry for the tragic loss of Sydney and Barry. When I received the call from Mitch I was speechless. Barry was always there for me.

You don't know me but I am a good friend of Robin Knowles. My family and I were at the Halloween party at the Sanctuary and my little boy Blake was having the best time playing with Sydney by the water slide. I told Barry how adorable and sweet she was. I can't stop thinking of her, Barry and your family. My deepest sympathies go out to you and your family.

Dawn, Howie & the Mazer Family,
Words cannot fully express the hurt and pain that so many people feel at this horrific loss. As we cope with such a tragedy and try to understand why this happened, we must take comfort in the precious, valuable moments that were shared with Barry & Sydney in this life and forever cherish how so many lives were affected for the better having known them and hold these memories always in our hearts. I remember fondly the early days when Barry met you Dawn at Coral Harbor Apts. and us all being friends for so many years as well as watching your whole family grow with such love, devotion and togetherness. Our prayers are with all of you for comfort and understanding as you recover from this and may all involved in the accident that day heal & recover quickly. The service showed how so many people were affected by this terrible loss. You all showed great courage and strength at the most difficult of times in life. I know that this terrible loss has made everyone who knew Barry & Sydney to reflect and take a pause in our own lives in some way and appreciate each day, each minute and each person we care about and cherish the gift of life.
We are here for support and friendship to your whole family.

Denise and Ken Picinich

Dear Dawn and the Mazer Family,

Wow what a service! It was quite evident from the turnout that Barry was deeply loved by everybody! I feel like I have lost a part of my own family. I have known barry for 25 years since we met in Massapequa Long Island. I have shared so many memories with the Mazers and Dawn's family.
Barry has always been my longest and truest of friends. So true that on 2 weeks notice a month and a half ago, he flew up to New York for my wedding.
Barry always tried to help me and though I never took his advice, I found out later that I should have.
Barry I considered you like my brother and I will always have the fondest memories of the last 25 years. Well G-d must have had a big party to plan by taking you.
A quote from Barry that has always stayed with my friends and I is " If you want to pick-up a girl at a bar always go up to the tall ones because nobody ever asks them! How funny is that!
Dawn I hope to always be in touch and may G-d comfort you and your family.
Barry ,
I love you and I will miss you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your Best Friend for life,

Steve Jackson

Dear Dawn, I met you, your family and Barry this summer in Marbella, I am so terribly sorry for your loss, my thoughts are with you and your family.

Barry and Sydney will be greatly missed, Marbella will not be the same without them. I sincerely hope that time will heal the pain and that you will be left with nothing but happy memories.

Dawn And Russell,
I have no words;only tears.
May God give you the Courage and Strength to carry on through your pain and heal your heart through the Love of your Children.
Barry once told me on that New Years Eve we were in Vegas,
a little relationship advice: "If you feel THAT kind of Love, Be happy to have experienced it because it doesn't happen often."
He was speaking of you Dawn and how good you always made him feel and how you made him a better person by being his wife!
My heart and Prayers go out to you and your family.

November 22, 2006

Barry, I remember first meeting you in our pledge class during our freshman year at UofF. You got the nickname "fiend" and they gave me the name "beast" because of my size. I remember taking you to Gainesville gym and the way you would do joke posing making me laugh and almost dropping the weight on my chest. It has been almost 20 years and it would seem that although the years have passed, I can always close my eyes and remember going out with you to the purple porpoise or hanging out at your place at the bicycle club talking about all of our grand plans for the future. You might have always seen yourself as small, but I had always said you had the heart of a lion. I remember your wedding as we all sat at the same table and how much you and Dawn loved each other and how over the years that love had multiplied five-times over. I remember when we would coming home during the breaks and we would always get together to go to the falls or go cruising in your mom’s Mercedes. To your kids, your dad was the coolest, not because of his size but because of his heart because of his compassion. I can't put into words the gapping hole that your loss means to your family and friends. During the services for you Barry, I closed my eyes and remembered back those twenty years and the way things were back in Gainesville when we were two kids with dreams. Barry, you will always be my little buddy and I am sure that everyone that has known you is better for it maybe because they laughed or thought or debated with you. Somehow we were all better because of you. GOD SPEED LITTLE BUDDY.

Our hearts go out to you and the children. Having lost a child ourselves, from SIDS, at the tender age of 9 months almost 10 years ago, we do know how you are feeling. You will go on living life asking why me, and there will never be an answer. Live life as Barry and Sydney would want you and the children too. Time is a healer, but you know and you will always know that Barry and Sydney will always be with you and watching over the other children. Stay strong your children need you now more than ever.

We are so sorry and hope the love of your children, family and friends gets you through this hard time. Our prayers are with you....

Joseph Daly

November 22, 2006

Dawn and family,

Words are hard to come by at the moment as I have only just found out about this tragic loss. Barry was a consumate business man, who always brought the family side of life into any of our wheeling and dealing this meant a lot to me. It also told me that he was a family man, who idolised his wife and children much more than his business, not found very often in the very competitive business field in which we all played. To say that I will miss him is an understatement, but I am sure what he has left behind will always be a wonderful memory for us all. My deepest condolences to all.

Robin and Ron Oberman

November 22, 2006

Dear Dawn, Words just can't describe the way I am feeling right now. Knowing you most of my life I could never imagine anything like this happening to you and the children. I know we haven't been in close contact over the past years but my thoughts and heart are with you and the entire family and if you need anything at all please let me know. Ron and I are so heartbroken about this tragic loss. I hope you find comfort in knowing that we all care about you and that you will get through this with all the love of friends and family. Much love, Robin and Ron

Klaus Thiel

November 22, 2006

When I first met Barry about 16 years ago in Arizona, I was immediately surprised about the quality of his character and his broad-minded and very sympathical habit. We met last time this year in the south of france and we all enjoyed his company so much. The accident is beyond any description and I am so overwhelmed that words are missing. I will miss him very much.

I hope for his wife and his family, that you can understand some time the reason, why Barry and his daughter are not alive anymore. I do not see any sense in all this and I can´t understand.

I wish you all the imaginable best!

Heather

November 22, 2006

My thoughts are with you and your family at this time. I didn't know Barry too well but I did know him well enough to see that he was a caring and loving individual and was one of the nicest people I've ever met. This is trully a great loss.

Dear Dawn and Family: Words cannot express how saddened we are about your loss. Our entire extended family will continue to pray for Zachary's full recovery and for your strength as you continue to raise your beautiful children. As we reflect on what a good man Barry was and what a beautiful baby Sydney was, we find ourselves asking and trying to answer, "Why?" We may not easily discover the answers, but we do know that Heaven has two new angels who will be looking down on your family until you meet again. God bless.

I do not know you, but in the end, we are all one in heaven. Having lost a child many years ago, I know the emptiness and shock you feel. That pain must only be emphasized by the loss of your husband/father as well. Surround yourself in the love of your other children and through them you will once again see the light. It may take months, it may take years, but with the strength of their lives, you too will live again.
Peace to you all.

I am absolutely astonished and destroyed by this terrible and unexpected event. When my girlfriend and I happened to know Barry through Rudolf in Monaco years ago, my and our feeling was that we never met anyone so human, devoted and adoring his family and life. This is a loss for the world and we have no words for this, if not all our feelings. Nikolaus and Federica, Italy
