His favorite thing to do was sit out front on his rocking chair with his wife, Billie and enjoy the wildlife, sunrises, and sunsets. Barry had a deep faith in his Lord and Savior and attended Valley View Baptist Church. If you knew Barry, you were often greeted with "Praise the Lord" and a fist bump.
