I find it hard to believe that five years have passed since Barrys death. He often comes to mind, sitting at the table with Lisa, discussing the merits of Thorlo socks, or watching the crowd at an art opening, with an occasional bemused smile breaking across his face. Barry was someone I didnt see all the time, but enjoyed each time I did. Hes much missed.

Lisa, I had no idea Barry had died. Just heard. I'm devastated at the news, so unexpected. I loved talking with him about art and nonart things...at your home and at arts events. If I heard Barry would be there I knew I'd have a good time with a kindred spirit. You and your daughters are in my thoughts and prayers now. I'll be in touch directly, soon.

I trained with Barry at GW in Diagnostic Radiology from 1972-1975. Always a friendly, knowledgable, easy going and dedicated physician, it was a privilege knowing him.

I met Barry when he joined the department as 'the new guy'. He was always a gentleman and we had many good laughs through the years. My prayers are for him and his family. May God bless them.

Dr. Brotman, there wasn't a single day in the MRA Bowie office that I didn't light up and go to work with a smile when I spotted your blue Mini in the parking lot. Thank you for your genuineness, superb expertise and wonderful sense of humor, and especially for making many of my workdays that much nicer.
