To all my dear cousins! East Long Meadow Mass will always bring great memories to mind. I remember Cathy and her horses and the time I fell out of the tree. I remember Aunt Kathleen and the welcome we always felt. Uncle Bill. I was proud to call him my God Father. A truly wonderful man. I am so sorry I couldn't be with you all. I miss you all very much and think and pray for you often.

To Billie, Tim, Monica and Terry,
I was deeply saddened to hear of your Father's passing. Most of my fondest and warmest memories of my childhood were connected with your Father and the entire Barry Family, from the Shamrock picnics at the McKenna's and all the Holidays and special events the Doyle's and the Barry's spent together. Your Dad occupies a special place in my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dear Bill, I was saddened to read about your father's passing. He was such a fine man. As you know, my father thought a great deal of him and always looked forward to seeing him at the Four Balls at Elmcrest and Quaboag. You have my deepest sympathy at this time of great loss. Sincerely, Mike Magrone

To the Barry family,

It was a privilege to have been able to know Mr. Barry.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Mr. Barry -- A finer gentleman there was not. Obviously, the Lord needed a good four-ball partner. Sincere condolences to Bill, Tim, Monica and Terry.

Mr. Barry was a gentleman. I never heard him say a disparaging word about anyone. He was respected by all and deservingly so. I'm proud and privileged to call him my father in law, but more importantly my friend.. I will miss you and your unyielding love and support.

I was very saddened to hear the news about Mr. Barry. He was without a doubt one of the finest gentleman I've ever met....and a darn good golfer too.
As others have said...he just made you feel like you were the most important person. I have fond memories of my days playing golf with his son Tim, and how often times Mr. Barry would be there greeting us at the 18th hole...always with an encouraging word.
My sincerest condolences to Bill, Tim, and Terry at this very difficult time.

Grandpa,
You always seemed to make me smile whenever you walked into the room. I miss you & love you so much. Keep smiling up there.
Love you always.

Mr Barry is a man everyone I ever met looked up to and aspired to be like. He was and will always remain a person I gained respect for each and every year. He is sorely missed.
