To a truly blessed family. This man was what few men can ever be. He was passion for everyday life, and compassion for everyday people. This man was so positive to be around, it was hard not to smile. Barry, i'm gonna miss you friend... Josh

Although I've only none Barry for just a few short years; his passing has affected me deeply as he always presented himself as a very upbeat, positive and caring human being. May your fond memories of such a wonderful Husband, Father & Friend lift your spirits and my prayers will be with you all.

I was so sorry to hear of the passing of your beloved husband our hearts are never ready to share a time like this, but still we reach out in our sadness and in our love t hold each other close and reminisce. We tell our saved up stories of good days and well remembered years, and through our smiles and tears, we start to feel that we belong to one another all the more...we learn again what family is for. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time.
