Publish in a newspaper
He was born in Lancaster to the late Donald and Pauline (Fair) Palm and was the husband of Kathy J. (Kuipers) Fair.
For over 20 years, Barry was the owner/operator of Brewster's BBQ in Ephrata, spreading his love of cooking with those near and far. In his free time, he loved spending time outdoors, whether it was in his cook center cooking up a storm for friends and family, attending his grandchildren's sporting events, or spending time fishing and driving around the back roads at his cabin.
In addition to his wife, Barry is survived by two children; Shannon, husband of Kelly Fair, and Amy, wife of Peter Kovach; four grandchildren, Hannah Fair, Ryan Fair, Alex Kovach, Laura Kovach; three siblings, Kim, wife of James Zimmerman, Tina Martin, Debbie Comiskey and numerous nieces and nephews.
