Dear sue and family, while viewing the on line obits I came across Barry's picture and was shocked and saddened. I started to reminisce of our younger years and the many hangouts in the sixth ward, the good times at Mack Trucks and the many many poker nights (and his super good chocolate cupcakes) and of course the casino. He was a great friend and will be truly missed. Gob bless you and your family.

To the Lagler family, may your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. We will always remember the jokes Barry would tell & how he always had a smile on his beautiful face. We always loved seeing you at the many polka dances, especially down at the shore.

Suzanne and family,
My condolences on Barry’s passing. I met both of you through Barrys younger brother Randy many years ago. Randy and I hung out at the pool hall on Tilghman St. between 2nd & Ridge Ave. A couple of years ago I saw you and Barry in the lobby at Sacred Heart Hospital and said hello. May your memories bring you comfort in the days and weeks ahead!
God Bless.
