Uncle Barry was precious to me his entire life. And he made me feel special to him at every stage of my life. I loved him very much. He was a beautiful man inside and out. I saw him in April for the last time and we had a wonderful visit. May his memory be a blessing.

Seeing Barry’s photo brings back wonderful memories of when he was chair of the JWest committee (and my lay leader partner) years before opening the Marilyn Fox building. He was always caring and gracious and showed appreciation to the staff. Of course, everyone would notice Barry’s good looks, charm and style when meeting him for the first time. Deepest sympathy to the family and may his memory be for a blessing.
