Dear Ethel and family, I just heard today of Barry's passing. He had an excellent sense of humor and I appreciated that you guys took me along square dancing with you in 2011. He's with the angels now square dancing in heaven and will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of mourning.

Hollenbach Family , It had been a very long time since I saw Barry but we were in school together. I have fond memories of him and I wanted to send my deepest sympathy to you. I am seeing more and more of our classmates moving on and it is still a shock when I read a familiar name. May his memories bring you joy and comfort in time.
