Condolences to Gloria, Chris and family. Barry was my boss at Brown & Williamson when I worked in Virginia. I learned a tremendous amount from him about work and life. Among many things, he taught me the importance of having a clean car and a pressed shirt. He was always dressed to impress and customers loved him. He was shining example to me early in my career and am forever thankful to him for all he did for me. Very sorry about your loss. Prayers for Barry, my mentor.

We are so sorry to hear about this. We have many wonderful memories from our time with Barry, Gloria and Christopher as Queensmill neighbors. Barry was definitely the best dressed neighbor while mowing his lawn! And that lawn was perfect! Our sympathy to Gloria and Christopher. Susie and Bob Wetzel

Deepest sympathy and condolences to Gloria, Chris and family. What a shock to hear of Barrys´ passing. I had the pleasure of working for and with Barry at Brown & Williamson Tobacco for a number of years. What a great classy guy and fun. He loved his clean shiny cars and was an immaculate dresser! I was going to give he and Gloria a call after the holidays and now too late to talk to Barry. RIP Barry.
With deepest sympathy,
Linda and Joe Galluzzo
