Uncle Barry, uncle Barry words can't describe how much you will be missed! The love and laughter you brought this family is tremendous. I always hear stories about how you used to be a ladies man and bring the house down at karaoke for all them women. But you know what that was uncle Barry he didn't care what people thought of him he was just himself , from the outside looking in you would think he was a crazy old man but to us he was just uncle Barry. This wasn't your last show I heard they got a pretty cool setup in heaven uncle Barry, so don't be afraid to take the stage in heaven and let them know who the real Elvis is. This is not the last goodbye I will see you again one day I love you more then words could explain, would you tell grandma and grandpa and cousin joe that I love them and I said hello.
Love your nephew junior

Daddy thank you for everything you have done for me and the family especially my children. You have shown them so much love and admiration you were also a terrific father figure to them as you were me and that is something very dear to me. We will miss you so very much I love you more than life itself. You were and still are the center of my foundation. Thank you for raising me and teaching me the things you did. I hope that I have never let you down. I know you had high hopes for me and I just hope that one day i can be half the man and dad that you were and still are. You are truly one of a kind and irreplaceable. I sure am going to miss singing with you, you always said that I was a wonderful singer and that the apple don't fall from the tree, but Dad I gotta say ill never be near as good as you. You left us so suddenly dad and words cant describe the amount of pain i have been going through since you left. I don't know why God took you when he did, but i do know this, down the road, one sweet day, my time will come and I will join you, Joe, and everyone else, and then we will sing for our lord and savior for Eternity!!! Love You Dad!! Love Jim

I knew Barry from Karaoke at the VFW in Overland, MO. He was a very kind human being and always a gentleman. I shared alot of dances with Barry and will never forget how well he sang Elvis songs. I know he'll be missed by his family and friends. Rest in Peace, Barry, and may you fly with the Angels.
