Our thoughts and prayers are with the Turlis and Nestico families. Barry was a great friend and a wonderful man to work for. He had a heart of gold, would go out of his way to help anyone at anytime. I am proud to have called him a friend. His smile and his laughter were intoxicating and he always had a funny story to tell to lighten up the day. I will surely miss talking and laughing with him. My deepest respect and condolences to his family as well. You and your family always made me feel welcome when I was around. Rest in Peace my friend, till we meet again! Chris and Tani Oslar and Family
