I was saddened to read about the passing of Barry. We were frat brothers and Pittsburgh guys who attended Boston University (I graduated from Westinghouse). Barry and I shared many memories both in Boston and in Pittsburgh. My deepest condolences to the family.
We'll Miss You Barry ........

Barry Pryor was a gentle, kind, and mild-mannered member of Allentown Senior Center. His genial personality endeared him to everyone who participated in the Center. Few knew he attended Boston University, was interested in homeopathic medicine, and played for the Miami Dolphins in 1969 & 1970. But we all knew he could bust a move, as was evident during our Senior Prom, as he and everyone else danced the night away. Barry was a beloved friend. On behalf of everyone at Allentown Senior Center, we send condolences to Barry's daughter, family, and friends. We'll miss him very much.
