Barry seems my message back in 2013 never posted. Barry training me as a dispatcher, when we as Firefighters, did our own dispatching. He also talked me into running for Union President, he was my Sec Treasure. He made me laugh and always had my back. Rest brother your work is done.

It always saddens me at the passing of a brother firefighter, especially one I worked with. Fond memories of past days fill my mind. Anticipation of seeing Barry and others fill my sole.
My condolences to Barry's family and best wishes.
