James was born in Brooklyn on July 17, 1955, to James and Philomena Barry. James, a resident of Staten Island, lived in New Springville with his wife, Maryann Barry. They enjoyed trips down to the Jersey Shore, a memorable trip to Graceland, and countless nights on Broadway. Before meeting his wife, Maryann, James raised his sons, James John Barry III and Jason Barry with Shanta Barry in Huguenot.

for theater and show business drew many to join him on the stoop creating cherished memories with friends and loved ones.
He will be greatly missed by his devoted wife, Maryann Barry, which he lovingly nicknamed Dimples.
He is survived by his sister, Rosemary Dudak of Tamarac, FL, his son James John Barry III & his wife Tara of Morganville, NJ Jason Barry of Freehold, NJ & his fiance Erin O Hagan.
