When I transferred to Lafayette in 1972, I literally knew no one at Lafayettte. Luckily, had been a member of Phi Gamma Delta @NYU and was able to immediately join the brotherhood @Lafayette. Barry went out of his way to make me feel welcome in my new environment. He was always upbeat, encoouraging and interested in how "I" was doing. He had a knack for making you feel like you were the most important person he knew. Although I only had a short time with him at Lafayette, he was as good and true a friend as I have ever known. May the memory of his life comfort you for every day of your lives.
