Barry Hess Obituary
He was born in Portsmouth, N.H., on Oct. 8, 1954, to the late Judith Farley and Thomas Hess.
Barry is survived by his brother Robert and his wife Sue, nieces Sunny and Taylor, aunt Marlene and uncle Phil, cousin Pat, friend Neil and hundreds of others who came to know and love this special man.
Born with Down syndrome, Barry lived with his mother for most of his life. Never apart for more than a day, they were connected spiritually at a level that cannot be explained. They could read eachothers' minds, facial expressions, and body language. On Sept. 7, 2008, Barry's mother died, breaking his heart and will to fight for life. The family would like to thank all the special people who helped the family care for Barry over the past five years. Heaven's very special child has gone home and he will be dearly missed.
SERVICES: Memorial services for Barry and his mother, Judith Farley, will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday at Farrell Funeral Home, 684 State St., Portsmouth, N.H.
