Ellen: Barry held a special place in my heart, not only as the BEST supervisor but also a caring, compassionate friend. He was there for me when my son passed away and any time I needed to talk, he was always available. I am so sorry for your loss of this great man who loved you greatly. My heart aches for you. Much love, Bobbie Donaldson
