Dear Ivanna & the Goodman family:
I only became aware this week of Barry's passing & am very sorry to hear this. He had a great sense of humor & was so very, very talented. His creative sense & high artistic abililties made his work a complete joy.
Every time I saw Barry, there was something to laugh at & something to covet amongst his art work.
I will always treasure the few minor pieces that I have.
Please accept my condolences for your loss.
Respectfully, Kathi Hess

I have seen Barry maybe 3 times in the last 40 years; spoke to him not many more times plus a few instant messages, but he was in my thoughts much, much more. He was a big part of my youth and like my youth he is missed.

I haven't seen Barry in a while, but I was best friends with his son Ben, and my father and him did a lot of business together. It's amazing how fast life can be. You never know when it will be over, so you have to live it to the fullest. I wish Ben and the rest of the family my deepest sympathies. Barry was a good man

I have know Barry for 30 years as both a friend and a jeweler. His artistic ability is unmatched. He was always eager to do any project I proposed and offered his own spin. The pieces I have will always be treasured. Emily and Ben, you are in my thoughts and prayers along with the rest of the family.
