My deepest sympathies to Barry's entire family. Memories of long conversations, sometimes my sounding board, at times I was his. Sometimes my confidant, but always my friend. My world is now a less colorful place. I will miss him.

I knew Barry for 7 months. He was always there for me and wanting to take care of me. We always had so much fun together. He has a wonderful son (Barry Jr), My prayers go out to him, his family, and friends. Barry Sr is the love of my life and will always be in my heart.

I knew Barry through employment also, probably about 5 yrs. We spent many days at lunchtime talking about everything and anything. I will miss that a buch. Barry always had something funny to say and we would laugh alot. I was looking forward to find out how his trip went , but now I know it ended in tradgedy. Barry, I'm gonna miss you bud. Save a place for me when I get there someday too. My prayers are with his family especially Barry Jr, he was so proud of him.

I knew Barry for less than a year through our employment. This was a shock to me and I can only imagine how difficult it is for friends and family. Rest assured than he carried himself with grace and dignity. With a twinkle in his eye Barry, in a blink, could grow a boyish grin that couldn't help but be contagious. I remember a ride home from work on our bikes (Mike H., myself and Barry) heading north on 83 and losing no time....Fast! The next day at work he saw me and with a somewhat concerned and serious look said, "that's a little faster than I need to ride".....then he grinned, that was Barry. Prayers for all.

I only knew Barry for 4 short years. He had a great personalty and easy to love. He was a dear friend and will be greatly missed. He was our biker buddy and a true friend. Barry, rest in peace- we love you. TFFE. Vicky and the remaining Wild Hog riders.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
