Hi, just wanted to say I´m so sorry, I was going through some papers and found something from when Barry did some work for us. He was such a nice person. I looked him up to see if he was still working and saw this. My husband passed in 2018 , so I know the sadness y´all have.

We are SOOOO SAD that this has happened. We have worked with Barry for about 11 years and every time he walked in the room he LIT it up!!! We always laughed. He will be missed!!! Our thoughts are with the family and we so wish we could have attended the funeral but were out of town. If you need anything don't hesitate to call... even if it's dinner one night.

Condolences to the Sims Family.
Barry and I met in the late 1990s. I had just built my home and Barry installed my gas logs. From that point on, he and I became good friends. I'm going to miss our good old conversations about cars and life. RIP my friend.

I was saddened by Barry passing away. We met a while back talking about drag racing. While in his garage I found that he was a real cool and humble guy as we discussed his future plans for his race cars. I remember him talking about his accident in Georgia during a race weekend. I'll truly miss this guy,my prayers go out to the family.
