You'd be happy to know when I think of you I smile. Especially when I think of you wanting spaghetti and milk to drink. I know you are at peace now but so many miss you. You left too soon and we all wanted more of you. Rest in peace Barry knowing how much you are loved.

One of the, many, best loves of Barry's life was the love of his family. I was lucky enough to meet and share that love with Barry, Kathy, Pat,Billy, neices, nephew his parents, grandpartents and, what I called him, little Peter. I'm sure in my heart that Barry is in a place where he only lives with love in his heart and soul and is at peace. We all miss you and I only remember that mischevious smile and the good times because that is what you would want..

There are moments in life when you wish you could bring someone down from Heaven. Spend the day with them just one more time, give them one more hug, hear their voice again, and kiss them goodbye. One more chance to say I LOVE you.
Dad I miss you.

My deepest condolences to Barry and his family. Just read the sad news in the LBA news letter. Our families were close, Barry was one of my oldest friends, Kathy (INSP) was one of the little kids, and Bill was good friends with my cus. Tony. We grew up together and entered the NYPD around the same time.We were in the Police Acd.,Sgt school, and Lt.s, our careers were very similar. I retired in 2001, so sorry to miss the services.Barry will allways remain a Great Woodhaven brother.

I remember the little boy that your sister Pat took care of and like every one else has said always a smile on your face. You will be missed by all of us who knew you and loved you. Now your with your Mom and Dad and peace will be with you in heaven with them. Love Aunt Linda

To the family of Pete Kearns: Just learned via Newsday this date of Pete's passing. So very sorry for your loss. Pete and I were in the Police Academy in the same company together. He was such a funny guy and always a gentleman. While working for the NYPD many years later I last remember meeting him again at some detail, and he was just the same person as he was when we were in the academy. Again, my sincere condolences to his family. Please contact me. Fran Engel

Eva, Wyatt, Peter, Angelica, Christina, Kathy, Walter, Michael, Kimberly, Patsy and Billy, I will always hold memories of a bunch of kids (especially Barry) running, laughing and care-free from a lifetime ago.
