Barry Comen Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Abraham L. Green & Son Funeral Home on Jun. 27, 2024.
Sadly, Barry Seth Comen passed away unexpectantly on June 19,2024 at his home in New Milford, CT. He was 72 years old. Barry grew up in Trumbull, CT until leaving for Albright College in Pennsylvania. Following graduation, he worked in sales and other capacities in the furniture industry. Most recently, Barry worked as a licensed drug and alcohol counselor.
Barry was preceded in death by his parents, David and Roslyn Comen and younger brother, Mark Howard Comen. He is survived by two younger siblings; his sister Shari Comen Solon (Howard) and brother Alan Comen (Judy), as well as nieces and nephews. Barry will be missed by many cousins, his lifelong friends with whom he kept in touch and by countless people he met throughout every stage and geographic setting of his life.
Barry loved his family, as well as good books, films, Broadway and spending time with his friends. May your memory be a blessing. Rest in peace.
Contributions in Barry's memory may be made to the New Milford Senior Center (40 Main Street, New Milford, CT 06776), Temple Sholom (122 Kent Road, New Milford, CT 06776) or Wheels of Greater New Milford (c/o New Milford Senior Center, 40 Main Street, New Milford, CT 06776).
A memorial service in his honor will take place at a future date.

Barry was a big help to me years ago, just after my divorce. I was a mess and his counseling was invaluable in getting me back on my feet after my divorce. I will never forget his empathy, humanity, and his skill as a therapist. Love you Barry for all your help. Dick Hermenze

Barry and I worked together at MCCA. We remained friends after he retired. We went out for lunch a couple weeks before his passing. He had always been an encouragement. VP
