Barry Worcester passed away with his loving family by his side on September 28, 2025.

He is survived by his wife, Barbara Worcester (Burgess), his son Jason Worcester and his wife Linda, his daughter Megan Lennox and her husband Rob, his son Andrew Worcester and his wife Chelsea, and his eight beloved grandchildren: Jack, Emily, Abby, Sara, Kate, Ethan, Ted, and Maxine, who lovingly knew him as "Grampy."

Barry was born on April 3, 1953, in Portland, Maine. After many years living in Massachusetts, he pursued his dream of returning to Maine, moving to the shores of Lake St. George in Liberty.

A lifelong businessman, Barry was always chasing the next big idea. He started his small family venture in the basement of his home and grew it into a nationally recognized ecommerce company. In his younger years, he could be found in the air, piloting a Cessna or a hot-air balloon.

Barry loved spending time with his grandchildren, always wearing a plaid shirt. Whenever his grandchildren visited the lake, Grampy was known for making "Mickey Mouse"-shaped pancakes, French toast with a dash of black pepper, "good corn," and building campfires in the fire pit. He enjoyed participating in the Cub Scouts' Pinewood Derby with his grandsons and is the Speed Recordholder for the derby in Sherborn, MA. Barry had a love for his garden, especially growing fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, and planting marigolds.

To honor Barry's wishes, there will be no funeral service. His family will gather privately to celebrate his life.
