Barry was a friend of my son’s, and I was extremely saddened to hear of his passing. From the messages in the guest book one can tell he was loved by many. I pray the support of family and friends helps you through this heartache. My sincerest sympathies.

I was greatly saddened to hear of Barry's death. I was his 2nd grade teacher, and he was truly a joy. I remember what a bright young man he was, and his beautiful smile. I still have on my wall, a lovely framed picture of "forget-me-nots", that Barry gave to me as a parting gift when he graduated from the 6th grade in June of 1999. It was very special that he wrote on the back of it, "Thanks for being my teacher", and signed his name. I have treasured it all these years, and I will never forget him. I sent him a card when he graduated from high school in June of 2005. I have always wished the best for Barry, and I was extremely saddened to hear that he passed away. I extend my deepest sympathy to his parents and brothers. May God bless you all.

Barry... I grew up with you, I dont think that theres a childhood memory without you in it. Im going to miss you and your glowing personality... I remember how I could be upset or depressed one second and you could have me laughing on the floor the next. You were always kind to me and willing to take time out of your day to ask how I was doing while you were outside working on your car. Even tho brian was my best friend, you were still one of my friends and i miss you. Thank you for all the great times you gave me. I hope your in a better place now.



Love Always,

Barry I will always remember you, when you and my son "Ryan" were so much younger. How pleased and a little envious Ryan was when you showed us your first BMW. How much you loved that car.

It was with great sadness, that I heard of your passing. Thoughts and prayers are with you always,
