So sorry for your loss. I didn’t get to know Barry as an adult but in school he was a very nice, respectful man. The few chats on Facebook and comments he seemed to stay the same outstanding man.

Our Deepest Sympathy…Worked with Barry at General Motors, We retired together from there. Always was a good friend. He will be missed. We kept in touch thru the years. He always wanted to come down & see my farm, but he never got to do that sure wished he had. God gained a great man to be his Angel. He will always be with you by your side. God Bless you all, may your memories carry you thru the days ahead. Thinking of you & our prayers.

I am sadden by your loss friend. I work at The UPS store next to Dominos where Barry worked part time. We met a few years back and just small talked outside the shop in between his deliveries. Even though we would only chit chat every now and again I knew his love of cars, he would brag about his granddaughters cheer competitions, and I would cheer him on for continuing not to smoke cigarettes!! I will miss our little talks in passing old friend. May you soul rest in peace.
Diane and Jerry Mckown
