Barry was a wonderful person and I will never forget him. I worked with him for years and he always made me smile and I always made him blush.

Randy, Freeman Family and Friends,

This is truly a shock to us. When we worked together at Gwaltney, Barry was always smiling and laughing at any crazy gesture he encountered. He was a very hard working and good natured guy. Barry will truly be missed by everyone who's lives he touched.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Wanda S. Pittman And Skip Collins
