Barry Steven Kloper, age 75, passed away peacefully on December 30, 2025 at his home surrounded by his loving family. A man of service, Barry devoted his time as a volunteer at Romeoville Emergency Management Agency, a role he loved dearly.

Barry ("Papa B- Pops") will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever cherished. Visitation will be held Monday, January 5, 2026 at Anderson Memorial Home, 21131 W Renwick Rd, Plainfield IL 60544 from 3-8 pm. Funeral Tuesday at the funeral home, 11 am service. Interment to follow at Plainfield Township Cemetery.

Barry was my son´s bus driver for many years and they had such fun together! Jacob is a Chicago Bulls fan, but Barry would always tell him "Go Celtics" and Jacob would laugh and return with "Go Bulls!"!Barry and his lovely wife came to watch Jacob play baseball for the Miracle League of Joliet, which made Jacob´s day!! Barry also introduced Jacob to songs from
Peter, Paul and Mary that to this day will always make him think of Barry! Such a special man who was so kind, thoughtful and fun! He will be missed! Our condolences to the family during this time! Colleen, Matt, and Jacob Yaeger
