Barry D. Worden

Tracy and myself are very sorry to hear of Barry's passing. We worked with him at TMS for the last 10 years and will miss his warm smile, and good nature. No matter what the weather or circumstances he always had a kind word and smile for me at the North Tunnel. He will be greatly missed.

Mrs. Worden, I still clearly remember when I was a batboy and Barry gave me a ride home from ball practice in his 65 Mustang. That to me in the Beatles '65 era was a dream car. But Barry was such a modest person to me when he was driving it. Barry, like his mother who helped care for me when I was sick at Arlington Memorial, was a person I could never forget - always someone with a warm smile and friendly as anybody I'd ever met. I learned about his death while staying here in Lansing,...

Glenda, Britney and Brady,

Barry was my best friend! I will always cherish our business and personal relationship and needless to say our loss will take some time to heal. The healing process is made easier because of who Barry was to each of us. A wonderful husband, a role model father, dedicated mentor, powerful leader and a true friend that was ALWAYS there when needed. And did I tell you, Barry was my best friend!

Your family is in our prayers,
Gerard and Debbie

It'd been so many years since our softball days. All those tournaments when the kids were little. (even before Carli was born and she is 21 now!) Charlie and I had such great memories of you both. Even we aren't together anymore but our sweet memories of great times live on in our hearts. I will pray for you and your family. Barry and you were great friends and wonderful people. I wish you peace in your heart and lots of love in the days to come. God Bless and much love and prayers.

Glenda,
Words are small comfort, I know, but you must be proud to know how many people loved Barry for his great enthusiasm, heart, and humor.

William Penn had it right: "Death is but crossing the world, as friends do the seas; they live in one another still. For they must needs be present, that love and live in that which is omnipresent. In this divine glass, they see face to face, and their converse is free, as well as pure. This is the comfort of friends, that though...

Dear Worden Family I was privaleged enough to work under Barry's leadership for the last eight years at TMS's operations department and I am very saddened that I wont see him on a day to day basis anymore. But that is my own greedy way of looking at it, because I know that he is with Jesus on a day to day basis now and what a joy that must be for him. I once told Barry that he must have been the good cop in the good cop bad cop scenario, because he just didnt have it in him to...

For loved ones and close friends. May God wrap his loving arms around you, comforting your hearts through this tremendous loss and the days to come.

The Worden family,
I had the priviledge of working with Barry at TMS for 8 years. I am very sad to hear of his passing. I will always remember him as my best golf partner and mentor. I always looked forward to seeing him, he could always put a smile on your face. I know he loved his family greatly and that he will be sorely missed. You will be in my prayers.
