    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.

    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.

Much love to all.
