Aunt Lorrianne and Cousin Matt,
We just learned that My Uncle Barry passed yesterday.
We want to say that he was a very good Uncle to me while my Dad, Barry, Moon and I used played lots of golf and I learned great deal from Uncle Barry. Whom He will be greatly missed. He was a hard worker and great father to Matthew and great husband to my aunt, Lorrianne.
There were some great memories in the early days, but times changes as we grow to certain times when The Lord calls us.
May God Grant them Peace, strength and wisdom to our families I pray in Jesus’ name.
Ken, Desiree and Shirley Kressler

Our paths have not crossed since childhood days. Barry, growing up on the east side and myself in the first ward meant we were together beginning at Harrison Morton through Dieruff. I remember Barry as a quiet leader and absolutely an individual who would no doubt succeed in life. It’s apparent my remembrance was correct.

My “Pop” was a wonderful man. He was an incredible father, beloved husband and brother. To me he was more than a father, he was my friend, and my hero. I always admired and had an immense about of respect for him. My father taught me a lot about hard work, love for friends and respect for others. I will miss him more than words can say and will never forget him. As the seasons change I can’t imagine sitting on the front porch and not glancing to my right and not seeing him there. Rest In peace pop, till we meet again.
