Barry was a proud member of the Los Angeles Police Department. He worked the Hollywood Area as a Reserve Officer. He specialized in working special problem areas. He worked almost weekly in a Black and White Police vehicle and dedicated his time to make the citizens of Los Angeles safe. A good man RIP Barry and my prayers to his family.

Dear Suzanne and Barry's family, I wanted to express my sincere condolences at the
Loss of your husband and stepfather. I knew Barry when I was growing up because he was old friends with David Anderson who was like a father to me. When I moved to LA in 1980 I remember Barry as a warm smiling face in a sea of impersonal people in Los Angeles. I believe I met Suzanne when she and Barry first started dating (perhaps at an Irish festival in LA). He was truly smitten. God bless. Love Denise McGee Buchanan

My prayers and condolences to the family of Barry Jenner. He was a very good actor. I saw him in Highway to Heaven and also Family Matters. He was so funny in Family Matters. May God give his family strength through this sad time.

Anyone involved in any Star Trek franchise is and will be forever -- awesome. These talented actors gave life to a world that gave us hope for the future and made us realize that it is very cool to be nice and have advanced morals. Thank you Mr. Jenner for adding your magnificent talent to Star Trek Deep Space Nine and making me feel better after a long day at work in an outdated and very greedy system. You have returned to the Sparkling Stream. Now, rest, Sir.
