I got to know Barry through music and he was always a well respected player in my circle of musical friends. We had some good times and crazy times, especially in the band D.W.I. which the Caruso gang labeled "Just Say Yes" (1989). Barry had a remarkable quick wit which made for a lot of fun. More recently, I´m glad that we got to share a little time on and off the stage before his passing. Condolences to all who were close to Barry

Enjoyed working with Barry at the Seaport. He worked in the smith shop when I'd bring tours of kids around. Such a great sense of humor about the kids, the job, and life in general. Sorry to hear of his passing.
