I have great memories of knowing Barry in High school. We would go to the roller rink with our group, our drive around with Harold and Beau. He did the best Michael Jackson impersonation back then, he really had the moves. I just google him after all these years to see how he's doing and found this. He will be sadly missed but always remembered with love.

I am sorry to hear of the loss of Barry. I worked with Barry at Trolley Tours and had the pleasure to call him a friend. Barry was intelligent and funny and conversation was always interesting with his warm outlook on life. I know he deeply cared about his family and would speak of them frequently. May time heal your sorrow.

To Alice and family, Barry will be greatly missed. Not only was he a beloved son, brother, uncle and cousin, he was a friend to many. I was truly saddened to hear of his passing. May your heart be glad for he's no longer "bound" to this earth with its pain and troubles. He's free and he deserves his rest. God bless you all.

Dear Mrs. Gregory,
Please accept our deepest sympathy in the passing of your son Barry. We had the pleasure of meeting Barry at my Mom's (Marie Hodges) birthday party and it was such a pleasure to see how much he took time to help you. I could tell that he was a very special son.
May God give you peace and strength during this time. We pray your strength in the Lord.
