Harriet, Eric and Lisa,
I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Barry. Barry had such a great way with people. He had a Knack of making kids like me feel important. I always remember riding to and from football practices in his big Ford LTD's telling jokes. You are in our thoughts and prayers in this difficult time.

Dearest "Little Auntie Harriet," Elyssa, Eric and families,
Please number us among the shocked and saddened, with the news of the passing of our beloved Uncle Barry.
We always looked up to him, with that wry sense of humor, that slow, sly smile and the unwavering support he gave all of us, especially our mother, following our own father's passing. Mom proudly told anyone who would listen that "Barry is my rock," and she was so right.
The memories we have of the years we spent together would fill more than one volume. We only hope that time allows you to heal slowly, and that you find comfort in the strength he gave to so many people.
With much love,
Bonnie, Jan, Al, Sue

Our hearts are sad but our memories are happy ones...of the Barry who was "always there" when we needed advice on how to fix almost anything...of the Barry with the funny, dry sense of humor...of the Barry who loved to think of pranks...of the Barry who really cared and was so kind especially to our parents...of our great golf trip and of so many other wonderful times together in the past 45 years...our hearts are heavy, but we can't help but smile when we "remember". Our love goes out to the family that he was so proud of and that he so adored.
