Not sure what to say?

Very sorry to hear belatedly of Barry´s passing. From Philip Godwin, a distant cousin from Wales UK. We met only briefly in 1980. Condolences to Barry´s family and all Godwin descendants in Central and Northern Michigan .

I was on the SHS debate team and Barry on AHHS team. Both teams rode the same bus to meets in Flint , Pontiac and Bay City. Barry and I were friends for only a couple years but he was so much fun to be around on meet trips and at Hoyt Library. I have missed him and asked about him all these years. Barry was that kind of person ----- I'm saddened --

Sending many prayers and hugs. We are very sorry to hear of your loss! Sincerely, Sarah Eudis (formerly Godwin), Kyla, Kendall and Klaysen

Barry became our friend through my sister, Carol Trogan, who was his very close friend from high school. We always enjoyed our time with him. We will miss his smile and his positive energy. We are grateful for the memories we shared and are very sorry for his family´s loss.

As former neighbors on Madison Street in Traverse City, we would always remark on how we never saw Barry wearing anything other than a white, starched, button-down long sleeve shirt as he mowed the lawn, worked with Nancy in the garden, or came across the lawn to connect with the both of us after work. I (Mary) grew up in Saginaw and graduated with his sister Barb; Barry was four years older than me (as well as Bill). Barry had an incredible sense of humor, dramatic presence, and gentle/kind...

Sympathy and condolences to the family. Barry was a classmate and "The Man" at Arthur Hill High School 1961-1963 Fun times! R.I.P.

My late wife Linda (Whitehead) thought the world of her classmate Barry. We always had good times with Barry and Nancy. Truly a great guy!

Shelley and I are deeply saddened by the news of Barry´s death. My first memory of Barry is seeing him on stage at South School-I thought he was a Hollywood star. Barry honored me by asking me to join the board at Saginaw Art Museum shortly after college graduation. He was always the best in every way. Greatly admired and sincerely missed. Our condolences to Libby and Barbara.

Barry and I were friends starting at South School in Saginaw and continued they high school and beyond. Many happy party memories at his home and his mom. He was part of our wedding party 53 years ago.Nothing but good memories of Barry thru the the years. My sincere condolences to Libby and Barb. The class of 63 has lost a big part of our soul.
