Barry Apfelbaum

Barry Apfelbaum, son of Isidore and Minna Apfelbaum (deceased), passed away peacefully on Thursday, September 26, 2024, at the age of 74, in Altamonte Springs, Florida.

Barry, also known as "Barry-the-A," was a resident of Orlando, Florida, for many years. All his family and friends will dearly miss him.

Barry was born on Dec. 10, 1950, and grew up in Brooklyn, NY. He graduated from New England Law in Boston and spent his professional career serving as a criminal defense attorney in Florida and New York.

Barry is survived by his wife, Linda Apfelbaum; older brother, Nate Apfelbaum; daughters Lisa Hall, Dana Roedell, and Jessica Camara; grandchildren Ethan Hall, Ryan Roedell, Grady Camara, Graham Camara, and Grace Camara.

Barry was passionate about his work and helping others. He also loved to laugh, demonstrate his knowledge via Jeopardy, and cheer on his favorite New York sports teams to many, many victories. Barry loved music, especially the Beatles, and played the guitar.

Barry was a devoted father to his three daughters. He encouraged his children to try different extracurriculars, attended youth sports games, and helped with homework whenever needed. He and his wife loved to get away for the weekend to local beaches and partake in various haunted tours all along the East Coast.

Barry was a comedian to the very end, giving his caretakers and family reasons to laugh even in some of the most difficult times. He was always moving despite being told to sit still, always pushing the envelope, and continuing to fight for what was right. His hard work will continue to be recognized by the people he helped and the lives he touched along the way.

To honor Barry's wishes, he will be cremated and celebrated in a private family ceremony.

We'll all miss you, Dad, and cherish the memories we shared forever.
