He was born on January 12, 1948, the son of the late Leon & Ida (Latvala) Juaire. Barry married Susan Peters on November 20th, 1971.

In his younger years he was known for his shenanigans with his siblings. One notable event was hanging his sister's very large doll from the balcony, a sight which left neighbors shocked and fearful it was one of the children they were seeing hung up. Barry was known for helping his neighbors by snow blowing their sidewalks and assisting with various projects. He enjoyed playing cribbage and building cribbage boards, as well as other woodworking projects such as tables, bed frames, and benches along with other items, which he gave to friends and family.

He loved volunteering with the Boy Scouts and was able to see both of his sons and grandson achieve the rank of Eagle Scout.
