I have enjoyed knowing Sharon and Barry for over 9 years. We did not see each other often but, I love them both. The picture with his niece Cindy, shows the person Barry was. I can still see his beautiful smile. He is smiling right now, thanking God for all He had done for him over the years. Your obituary was beautiful.
For me, to die is the end. To pass on, you do not die, you continue your life, with God and the loved ones who have gone before you. That is how I keep my Andy and our Steve in my heart. I know they are well and happy, in a place without even a Band-Aid.
Sharon, you will miss Barry, but you will never lose him. For anyone who knows you both, one look at the two of you lets them know the deep love you have for one another. Your love for each other is eternal and like the rainbow, without ending.
I shall always treasure the words and smiles I have received from you both.

Uncle Barry was precious to me his entire life. And he made me feel special to him at every stage of my life. I loved him very much. He was a beautiful man inside and out. I saw him in April for the last time and we had a wonderful visit. May his memory be a blessing.

Seeing Barry’s photo brings back wonderful memories of when he was chair of the JWest committee (and my lay leader partner) years before opening the Marilyn Fox building. He was always caring and gracious and showed appreciation to the staff. Of course, everyone would notice Barry’s good looks, charm and style when meeting him for the first time. Deepest sympathy to the family and may his memory be for a blessing.
