He and his brother co-owned a horse and enjoyed spending the day at the track. He was a devoted New York Yankee (and Derek Jeter) fan. A loving husband and devoted father, Barrie enjoyed spending time traveling with his family and enjoying their Arizona home. Barrie's infectious personality and quick wit drew people to him immediately. Barrie was a very special man and will be missed by so many.
