Was very saddened to hear about Barry’s passing. I went to school with him at good ole HJ. He was always SO witty and fun to be around. Have not seen him in fifty plus years, but had always hoped he was living his best life, where ever he was. Prayers to the family.
Rest in Peace, Barry. You were loved & shall be remembered ❤️
Barry you lived a fantastic life & I am proud to say you were my friend. Now rest in Heavenly paradise, you have earned it ❤️
RIP Barry
Barry is a long-time acquaintance. Although I haven’t seen him in a really long time. I followed his posts on fb of his countless hours of feeding the homeless. Also of his love of eating in the local restaurants! He was a character, for sure! What a gentle soul, though. I know he’s rejoicing in heaven! Rest easy, Barry… prayers for his family and friends. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord. And may perpetual light shine upon him… May he rest in peace.
Barry was one of the most selfless people I know, with a huge heart when it came to taking care of others. I consider myself blessed to have been able to call him my friend and will always hold a special place in my heart. Rest in peace babe, my sincere condolences to your family & friends. Much love to all.
Rest in Peace Barry. Heartfelt condolences for all of the Family💕🕊️🕊️🕊️🙏🏻
