Barry never met another soul that he didn’t consider a friend. A “gentle giant” would be the way that most of his friends and loved ones would describe his caring and charismatic nature. He brought an infectious level of kindness to every room he ever entered, and would shake the ground with his unmistakable deep chuckle that was present in every conversation and story he took part in. He was happiest on an early morning hunt on Eagle Island, or a late afternoon fishing trip in Leeville with his parents, Betty and Bob. He loved his parents, children, and grandchildren so unconditionally, and never missed a chance to let them know how proud they made him. His endless love, laughter, charm, and positive energy will be deeply missed by friends, family, and beyond. Though he has left us on earth, he is now free from the confinement of his disabilities, and able to hunt, fish, and hang out with Bob and Mitzi forever.
