My deepest sympathies, Jen. I had worked with Barry for quite a few years @ Quaker before I retired. He was a good man, a hard worker and liked by all who met him. He will be missed! Rest in Peace my friend.

Jen, I am very sorry to hear of Barry's passing.
I have worked we Barry for about 15 years at Quaker City. He was always the first to help anyone out with anything we needed. Barry had the best attitude! Always ready to make you laugh or tell you an old story. He always had a twinkle in his eye. I will surely miss him! He was a good man!
