Barry Lee Rackover

Dear Elizabeth, Fannie and Vivian,
I am just finding out about Barry's passing. I am deeply saddened by this news passed on to me through various past LA friends. I feel awful that it has been 4 years since his passing and have not been able to offer my condolences. I hope this posting finds you.
Barry and I had some wild times together in LA. I look back at those times and a big smile comes across mu face followed by a laugh or 2. I am so sorry I lost touch with you guys. Please...

Originally from philly..I go back 40 years...when rack was known as "THE KINGFISH"
while surfing on the net...when I discovered that "rack" had passed..I was..and still..am devastated....I write this message with tears in my eyes...and the heaviest of hearts. I have not seen rack..personally in many , many, moons..but I always asked friends and acquientnces...how he was doing...where he was...and what he was up to.
we were teenagers together...and even though time had passed...children...

Barry gave countless opportunities to many people over the course of his career. He facilitated top-notch productions for all his clients and added levity to every show-site he visited. We were lucky to have known him. He is greatly missed.

Barry was my housemate/ brother in the early 80's in Belmont, CA. I am proud to have known him. See you in a while Bar!

Elizabeth, we are saddened by the news on Barry. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We enjoyed our times with you both during our time in Florida.

God Bless Barry Rackover... He brought life,laughter and true friendship to everyone he met...I met him at Taker's Cafe . aND i'M GLAD I DID.

I, too, knew Rack from the wooly days of Taker's Cafe in Germantown. Always a gentleman. He seems so happy in the photos you posted. My healing thoughts sent to his dear family and friends. I know he will be missed and well remembered.

I was deeply saddened to hear of the loss of my friend. You will be missed but remembered by countless people.
