Dear Jody and Judy, I wish to express my greatest saddness for the loss of your father. He will always be remembered as a gentleman in the construction industry. We were acquainted for nearly 50 years. He will be missed, but, the good memories will always remain.

Dear Judy & family, I remember your Dad as a kind & honorable man, who I first met at my office in Maryland Square; he was the contractor for the Center. One day after his eye exam on W. Charleston he left my office only to return moments later to the front desk where Mary Jo was; he told her he had just found a hundred dollar bill outside & presented it to her, telling her he thought she could use it. What a blessing it was for her to receive that & I know a blessing for him as well. May our Lord & Savior give you strength & pour out His comfort, peace & rest on each of you as you go through your loss. Sincerely, Dr. Barry
