BARRY TOBINS Obituary

TOBINS, Barry A. Barry A. Tobins, 76, of Centerville, July 18, on Cape Cod. Beloved husband of Saundra. Devoted father of Robin, Lynne, Douglas and Jordan. Cherished grandfather of Lily Rose, Zee, Isabel and Jaxson. "Dad"| to everyone, Barry was passionate about his children, music, sports, boating, walking, bridge, backgammon, his homes, cars and dogs. Funny, sarcastic and opinionated, Barry loved arguing politics and shooting the breeze, regularly collecting new friends on his daily walks. An avid Zionist, Barry was a founding member of the Israel Prime Ministers Club of Boston, traveling with them to Israel during the Six-Day War. His proudest memories included hosting Ehud Olmert at his home, shaking the hands of Shimon Peres and Benjamin Netanyahu, and receiving a kiss from Golda Meir. Service at Mosswood Cemetery, Cotuit, on July 30, 11am. Reception to follow at The Ridge Club, Sandwich. Memorial donations may be made to MSPCA, Centerville or Hope Hospice, Hyannis.

We are all getting together Sunday to celebrate your life, my cousin Barry, for you are missed by many, all who have their own memories and stories. For me, you are the older brother I never had!! Lots of fun memories at the cape, Craigville Beach, Baxters, Four Seas, late nites playing Backgammon, Florida to Boston in your jeep, boating etc. Your closeness with my dad fostered many holidays, BBQs together!
Best move ever was marrying Sandy, who is amazing and your wonderful kids, my cousins!! Rest in Peace, and watch over us all with ❤.
