Earlier today
I worked closely with Barry throughout his years at UVA, and I will remain ever grateful for his mentorship and the many ways he broadened my view of engineering. His Monday evening research meetings in the old UVA Reactor building were legendary-dozens of students and faculty crowded into a single conference room, eating pizza, all ears tuned to Barry´s stories about the DoD and the FAA. He shared a wide and wild range of ideas about cyber-physical systems-concepts entirely new at the time. It has been fascinating to watch nearly all of those ideas emerge over the past dozen years into mainstream research and practice. His genius and energy were truly unique. I will miss him dearly.

Yesterday
Barry was a wonderful friend and mentor. I remember before presenting my first paper as a doctoral student, I was nervous-worried about every word and how I might come across. Barry eased my nerves by sharing the story of his own first conference, when he spoke far too quickly and tried to cram in too much detail, finishing with only seconds to spare. As he sat down, the panel coordinator leaned over and said, "Kid, you must have practiced forever to time that presentation so perfectly!" We both laughed, and in that moment my anxiety melted away. I went on to give a much more relaxed and confident presentation.
I will deeply miss Barry, and I send my heartfelt condolences to his family.
