Loretta, Barry has been a very special friend over the years. He was the friend I needed many times; and he uplifted and blessed me just when I needed it. I also enjoyed his humor and his laughter. I will dearly miss him. Love, Mike Crone (third cousin)

Loretta, Carol, Don, Mike and family. News of Barry's death brought much sadness to me and my wife. Barry was one of my best friends and was also my best man. In all of the years I've known him, I can't remember him getting angry at all. He just didn't have that in his nature. A Christian who's character revealed Christ living in him. Time will lessen the sadness and loss, but memories of him will always bring a smile to each and every one of us………….

I was shocked to see that Barry had passed away. I was a classmate of his from 1972. We weren't the closest of friends but I really liked all the times we did interact. It is truly a loss for the entire class. May God be with you Loretta during your time of grief. May you find comfort in knowing that Barry is now in God's hands pressed tightly against His bosom. All is well with Barry!! God bless you and the family and remember fondly of all the great memories. Ron Malehorn
