My family and I are deeply saddened by John Barry's passing. We send our heartfelt condolences to his family. John Barry was our neighbor and friend. In recent years he was especially kind to my mother, Millie. He was a friendly voice and face who was always available to lend a hand. John Barry was a kind, considerate soul, who will surely be missed.

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to Pauline, Kathleen and John’s family and friends. I grew up in Holyoke next door to John’s best friend Don Healy.

My sister Teresa passed away the same week as John...

Our heartfelt sympathy for his family's huge loss. From the words of Shakespeare, "Don't let your grief be measured by his...
