BARRY METZGER

IN MEMORIAM-BARRY METZGER JUNE 1945 - DECEMBER 2012 DEAR FRIENDS AND FAMILY, IT´S 10 YEARS SINCE WE HAD BARRY AMONGST US. I FIND THIS A SIGNIFICANT MILESTONE WHICH I WANT TO SHARE WITH OTHERS WHO KNEW AND CARED ABOUT HIM. THE YEARS HAVE PASSED, PARTICULARLY NOTED BY THE GROWING GRANDCHILDREN (LUCCA, 20 AND MATTEO AND NOAH, 15). WE EACH TRY TO BRING BARRY INTO OUR THOUGHTS AND INFLUENCES- "WHAT WOULD BARRY SAY" OR "WHAT WOULD BARRY THINK" OR "HOW WOULD BARRY RESPOND" AS WE PROGRESS IN...

So much love a respect for Barry. He was a very fine man.

One of the great sadnesses of my return to Manhattan after fifty years, and of The Book of King's as an EBook, was not to find Barry here who was the most generous saviour to both.

Dear Jackie:

It is seven years since Barry died. I think about him a lot. He died too young. A victim of pancreatic cancer. He taught me so much.

Love,

Cliff

Thinking of Barry today and always - forever in our hearts. And huge hugs and love to Jackie, Darren, Rebecca and all the Metzger family on this day of remembrance. All our love from the Sofields & Chaytors xxxxxx

I am completely shocked to hear of this personal loss, however after the fact. Barry was no less than my salvation

Dear Jackie, so sorry to hear of your loss; a fine man, your husband. You may remember us us neighbors in Pokfulam HK.

Dear Jackie,

I am so very sorry for your loss - I just learned of Barry's passing and immediately began to reflect on what a kind, intelligent, and giving person he was. I had the great fortune of working with Barry while he served as Chair of the Program Committee at Pacific Pension Institute - he was so very intelligent and articulate, but what made it especially meaningful to work with him was seeing his passion and genuine commitment to the organization. He was an incredible mentor...

My condolences on your loss. I made Barry's acquaintance through OECD events, where he was a leader in intellect, in policy, and in wisdom. He was invariably thoughtful and kind. A true mensch.
