I was truly saddened to hear about Barry's passing. My mom and I both worked with Barry at GLTC. We have so many memories with him and I could always count on him for a laugh. Anytime I saw Barry he always asked how my family was doing because he genuinely cared, and that meant the world to me. Praying for his family and loved ones during this difficult time. Condolences from the Hall family.
