Barry always had a smile I am glad I had the opportunity to work with Barry at the Sheriff’s Department. He will be missed by his family and all that knew him.
There aren’t words to tell you all how much the heart felt condolences mean to the family at this very difficult time. Dad was, and still is a great man.
Mom and Dad are now back together and I’m sure they are smiling knowing that together, they made such an impact on all of our lives.
Please if you can, stop by Monday even if it’s just for a minute.
Sorry to hear about your loss of Barry. He always had a smile and kind word.
Enjoyed working with him at the Sheriff’s Department. Prayers for all the family 🙏🙏🙏
I feel so fortunate to have known Barry. He and I were co-workers at American Metal Treating. He will be missed by everyone who knew him. Barry was an inspiration because of his persistent , positive attitude.
I will miss you, Barry.
I enjoyed getting to know my distant cousin and was thrilled when he moved into the neighborhood so close by. It was fun to get my mom and him (first cousins) together for walks and talks. I’m so sorry to hear of his passing and will be thinking and praying for you all.
Worked with Barry for years. He was a pleasure and he and his squad were always up for anything. Always glad to see him come to work. And would stay longer than he intended many times because nights just wouldn’t calm down. 😪
