Read MoreI became friends with Barry in the late '70s.
We had some great adventures in Palm Springs and NYC. I still have Barry's work in my home.
He was a whole person with a good soul. He was so proud of his Dad's mentoring Billy Mills and his own identity. He was a good soldier, a boon companion and a keen observer of the human condition. Salute!

Sorry to hear of the passing of this talented and generous man! But remember fondly the great friendship that our mother's, Lolly and Irene, shared back in Lawrence KS. Proud to have been able to share with Barry the fruits of that relationship......

Oh, Barry, and your dear family. Growing up, my family lived on Barker Street. I remember You playing with my older bothers in the yard. Walking to Cordley School was such a long journey (it seemed.) I always admired you and your work. We go to NM & AZ in the winter, so I just found out about you. Rich still is the hunter of the family. My thoughts are with your family. God bless them all.

My Dad, Ed Fitzsimmons, ran the printshop at Haskell in 1950-1952, and I remembered two little boys, "I Doug" and "I Barry" Coffin. We lived at 108 Barker, in half of a two story duplex, and Butch Reynolds was the kid on the other half of the house. Very sorry to read that Barry has died, R.I.P.
