Of Woodbury, MN Died at the age of 78 in his home on Monday, October 18, 2021. Born in Oxford in the UK during WW2, Barry set out for adventure as a young adult. He traveled overland in an old London red double-decker bus across Europe, the Middle East, India, and SE Asia. He eventually found himself in Australia where he met the love of his life, Kathleen. They returned to her home in the USA and were married, eventually settling in Woodbury, MN where they had two children. Barry was a Mechanical Engineer for many years and was granted numerous patents during his career. He never lost his sense of adventure, eventually visiting every inhabited continent and crossing oceans by air and sea. He enjoyed sharing his love of travel with the family and made many treasured memories with his kids and grandchildren. Barry was preceded in death by his wife, Kate; father, Jim; mother, Phyllis; and sister, Ann. He is survived by daughter, Meghan Olson (Eric); son, Adam; sister, Sarah (Peter) Shoard; grandchildren, Henry, Charlie and Kate Olson; his nephews, James and Dan Cripps; and his in-laws, the DeWitts, who were his beloved family in the US.
