Not sure what to say?

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. I have missing his presence on the road. I had encountered waves and smiles from Barry as he road up and down Whalehead Road. My prayers for you all.

I only knew Barry from him riding past my house almost daily. First a few years back it was pushing his bicycle up the hill past my house. Then eventually I noticed he was peddling past the house without stopping to push the bike. Then one day not so far back, here comes Barry with his new bike and much more freedom I imagined. Well, no more trips past the house. Days are a little sadder now. Rest easy Barry Sandy Hollow Road misses you!

I worked with Barry in the early 90's and always saw him around Ledyard on his bicycle or motorcycle. I was fortunate enough to have a brief conversation with him at the red light at 117 & 214 this past year. Barry was a great man and a true son of Jesus. May he live on in the eternal beauty of heaven. My condolences to his entire family.

The roads will not be the same without that red grom cruising down them. Rest Easy, Barry.

Dearest Christine, family and friends. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Sending love. Loren Shaw Dorene Saunders

I will miss Barry on his ride on Military Highway, always a wave and sometimes stopping to share memories of LHS.

Rest in peace Barry. May you be enjoying the reunions in the heavens with your loved ones who went on before you. Til we all meet again. Rest Easy!
