Barry Lersch was the starting pitcher in the first Major League game that I ever attended at old Connie Mack Stadium in Philadelohia. His name has stayed with me all of these years. Very sorry to learn of his passing. I will always remember Barry.

Linda and the Lersch Family,

I am very sorry to to hear the bad news of Barry's passing. I have many fond memories of Barry from the softball days in Casper and Big Piney, Wyoming! One of my best memories is when Barry and Charlie Orr drove to Casper from Denver one weekend and spent the night at my new home of two weeks and decided to rearrange my neighbors sprinklers so they would water my lawn and not theirs. About two weeks later when their yards were all burnt up and mine was as green as ever, I finally met both neighbors. What are friends for other than to make sure you meet your neighbors. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

To the Lersch Family,
I am very saddened to hear of the death of Mr. Lersch. You do not know me but I have been a lifelong Phillies and Barry Lersch fan stemming from an act of kindness that Mr. and Mrs. Lersch did for me way back in the summer of 1971! I was a young medical student at that time and working my way through school as a vendor at the stadium during summer breaks. While working one warm day, I stopped for a rest near a seat where Mrs. Lersch was sitting and began speaking to her. I happened to mention that I was a student at a summer job and was planning to take a 10 day trip to Los Angeles about a week later to attend the wedding of two of my medical school classmates. Mrs. Lersch reminded me that the Phillies would be playing in LA at that time and suggested to me to give her my name so that Barry could leave me tickets to attend!! I couldn't believe that this would ever come to pass--a ballplayer (who I didn't even know) leave ME, a kid selling ice cream, tickets to see a game out of town!! Yet when I arrived in California and called "Will Call" there were tickets waiting for me and my student friends. It is now 38 years later and I have had a rewarding medical practice for over 30 years. But that act of kindness by Mr. and Mrs. Lersch made me feel so important, that it has never be forgotten. I send my sincere condolences to the entire family.

Jackie and I are saddend to hear of Barry's passing. We have many fond memories of Barry from the softball years in Wyoming, the hunting trips, raft rides and especially his giving heart. We will truly miss him, but will always have a special place in our hearts as a very good friend! And as I suspect Barry would say, "Don't ya know"!

God Bless you and all the Lersch family!!
