My condolences to all the family. I remember great times in high school with Barry and his brothers as good friends. The best times were when as kids, we played football behind the school at the top of route 100 near where they lived. I alway loved the place there they grew up on the mountainside. I remember what an outstanding baseball player Barry was. Although I had not seen him in decades, I always knew he had touched my life in my formative years. He was admired and I cherished his and his brother's friendship. God be with him and his family. Fondly, Dave Rarich

Met the whole Wenner crew back in the 70's and immediately liked Barry especially as we were kindred spirits. Was bummed out with the move to Florida and kind of lost touch but there are still many great memories to call upon such as playing flag football regularly and Barry being the savior of a pretty dull 60's party coming in with the rolled up t-shirt sleeves, jeans and slicked back hair. When the song Wooly Bully came on Barry single handed livened things up drastically and the rest of the night was good fun. Took me this long to get over the shock of the news just to write this. Condolences to Martha and the rest of the family. Love to you all.

Good ole Barry, that’s what I always call him. I saw him the week before his passing and we had a good laugh. I can still hear his chuckle. It always made a conversation with him and laughter contagious. Barry also had some great dance moves. I remember his old red snazzy car he owned when I was a teenager. He worked throughout the years with my dad and my husband. With a heavy heart I was shocked to hear this. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and Lindsy (my childhood friend). Love you

Dear friends and family of Barry we are so sorry for your loss. We remember when Barry belonged to the Parkway Congregation which is now Emmaus Congregation. We worked in field service with him. He loved sports as did all his brothers. He loved the song Wully Bully by Sam the Sham and the Pharoh's . You are all in our thoughts and our prayers.

So sorry to hear of Barry's passing. I have many memories from EHS and baseball. Sending condolences to the Wenner family.

I will always remember Barry as being one of my first friends in life, of playing baseball between the chestnut trees in my grandfather’s fields. As I read many memories of Barry, it was obvious that sports would become a big part of his life. Other memories, like his Dad getting us as kids into the Laurence Welk concert at the Fair - needless to say, we didn’t stay too long! If we would have shared time later in life, I’m sure we would have had many conversations about NASCAR! RIP Barry. My condolences to his family.

My sincere condolences to the extended Wenner family ! Barry was my cousin on my mother's side. He was an outstanding man and athlete. We played on opposite teams during our younger days. We lost touch when he moved to Florida. RIP in peace, cousin Barry! My regards to our common clan in heaven! God bless!

I remember Barry and his Family when they lived over the garage behind Aunt Helen's house. Carlton and I were cousins. That has been a long time ago. Danced with your Mother at Uncle Donald's birthday party in East Greenville fire company. May the good Lord keep you all in his care at this time

To the Wenner family: I was very sad to hear of Barry's passing. We spent a lot of time together back in the late 70's and 80's. Many fun memories. Although it's been a while, I can still hear his laugh and see his smile, it seems like only a moment ago. Sending my condolences to the Wenner boys, Martha, and the rest of his family.

So sorry to read about the passing of Barry. I knew him from EHS and loved watching him play Legion baseball. He was a great player. My sympathy goes out to all of you. RIP Barry.

I played baseball with Barry in high school and with the Emmaus American Legion team. I remember him as a stalwart third baseman and a fantastic power hitter. He hit many home runs that were legendary and worthy of major league status. I haven’t seen him in many years, but I will cherish many fond memories of our playing days together.
