Gary and I will always remember Barry from our class as being such a nice guy. He actually grew up on the corner house at the other end of the street we live on. Gary and Charlene Platz

Barry,

I will always remember you as the guy with a smile and a kind word. When you meet up with our classmates, tell them HI from us down here, and to save room for the big reunion.
The WHS Class of 1965 will miss you.
