It was fun having you as part of our family for the last 12 years. Our parties will never be the same without you, Barry. We could always count on you to be late, spend an hour in your van gathering your belongings, and bring an assortment of goodies from the dollar store (the kids loved that especially!). You will be missed more than you'll ever know. Love, Val, Chris, Alison & Miles

Dearest Barry, You packed a lot of living into that lifetime of yours. The veterans and fire company were very important parts of your life, but you still managed to have time for so many other things. So many people were attracted to you because of your enthusiasm for life. I know you didn't think you were finished all that had to be done - but what you accomplished was amazing. Thank you for including us on your journey through life. We never knew what to expect next, but it was always fun. You were unique and truly a hero. Your work is done - rest in peace, Barry. No one deserves that more than you. Always and forever in my heart. Love, Frani
