Nancy, Robert, Michael & Sue, I am so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. He was the sweetest, kindest person. Always had a smile on his face whether I met him at the dental, church or Tri-Town/Adam's. Take comfort in his love for you, as he loved to fill me in on all of you when I met him in town. I hope the new year helps you find peace & comfort as you look for his signals. A star as bright as Jim can never be extinguished. God bless-

We are heartbroken to learn of Dee´s passing! Living next door for the past 23 years, he has watched our kids grow up, spent many summers talking over the vegetables from the gardens, and just enjoying each other´s company. Dee was more then a neighbor, he was a friend and a legacy that won´t be forgotten- we will miss you

My thoughts and prayers to the Barry family. I got to know Jimmy for his can collection. Such a nice man. I will miss running into him at Adams and giving him cans. Always smiling and friendly. Prayers to you all.

My deepest sympathy to you all. He was a wonderful gentleman, I will miss him and seeing his bright smile.

Hi I´m very sad. Sad for your loss James he was a good friend we would talk and tell stories and I´m so sad to hear that he passed away. He was a wonderful gentleman. I love this guy I´m sorry for your loss.!

Jim was such a sweet man and will be missed dearly. Jim would always stop by my parents house everyday on his walk and give the dogs a treat and chit chat with us. He would stop by my work every day at Birdon Marina to collect cans and have a nice chat with everyone. We loved his daily visits and all his stories. My thoughts and prayers are with all of his family.

My sincerest sympathy goes out to the Barry family at this sad time. I am so grateful to have had the gift of chatting with Jim at Birdon Marina. He always had a kind smile, gentle wit, and a story to share. He was gracious in his service to others. He was as sure a part of most days there, as the CT River. He will be sincerely missed.
