Just seeing this 10 years later.... Barry was a great boss, great car guy, and ultimately a great person who loved life while I knew him in the 90's. Barry had a big heart and loved...

April 26, 2021....I just found out that Barry left this world. I met Barry in 1985 when my dad and I had stopped into Performance Motors to see the cool cars. Barry was washing a jaguar...I said "I'd love to work around cars like this!" and without turning around Barry told me to come back Monday morning! He gave me the opportunity of a lifetime, to drive cars most people only dream of. I have many treasured memories of this time, and still repeat the stories to this day. My most sincere condolences to his family...what an amazing angel you all have:)

I will always remember the great times we had at Troubadour. Dancing and playing foosball with Terry Ogbourne, George J. and anyone else that could take us on. Fondest memories are of the river with Ray Jones and Debbie Sinclair on the Excalibur. We did some crazy things on that boat. I regret not taking the time to see you at Sam Swope. RIP dear friend. We made a lot of great memories in a short period of time!!

There are certain people who come and go in our business, but some are simply a real "used car guy". Most of you will recognize this as the compliment it is. Barry was one of the best. It's our loss. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

The love of my life. We promised at age 15 we would be there for each other until the end. A promise we both fulfilled. It was an honor to be beside you through all the years of ups and downs. You are going to be missed by many but no one will miss you more. All my love till we meet again. Nancy
