Hi Skip
I just came across your Dad's obituary. I wanted to pass along my condolences to you and your family. He was quite an accomplished individual. I have memories of seeing and speaking with him often when I worked behind your office with George.
Best wishes Skip,

To Eddie's Family: Please accept my thoughts of sympathy for your loss. I was unable to make the services as I am in rehab after hip surgery. Eddie was a great friend.

Mr Barry, you were a great part of my life, simply because you gave my dad wonderful memories of the Warriors and myself
you accommodated him, for some long bus trips ,which was extra special
you are a great man for all reasons

I FIRST MET EDDIE WHEN I COACHED THE FRESHMEN HOCKEY TEAM AT B.U.IN 1954, HE WAS A GREAT PERSON, ATHLETE AND FRIEND,HE WAS A GOOD MAN WHO ALWAYS HAD TIME FOR HIS ASSOCIATES, OUR SYMPATHY GOES OUT TO THE BARRY FAMILY, AND MAY HE REST IN PEACE WITH OUR BLESSED LORD AND SAVIOR UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN, GOODBYE FOR NOW MY FRIEND

Eddie was a remarkable guy, tough and talented, probably the best athlete ever from Northeastern, a hockey player good enough to compete for the Bruins when there was only a handful of Americans in the NHL., and a superb golfer as his 12 Charles River championships attest. It's regrettable so few people nowadays don't realize was an exceptional man he was.

Always remember Mr.Barry as a fair and decent hockey referee . A good guy
