Barry was my best friend and a great human. I will forever miss him and all the talks that we had. My condolences to Susan, Brian, Matt and his family. RIP Barry.
Barry was a great friend and coworker for many years. I feel very privileged to have had the opportunity to spend time and get to know him and his wonderful family. Fare thee well my friend.
Barry was a good friend. Mac Cashwell, Barry and me became the 3 amigos at the Water Treatment Plant. It was all for one and one for all for the 3 of us. I remember him carrying his coffee cup everytime he makes his round in the morning. He gave me a Christmas decoration which I’ve treasured so much. I will miss him. Goodbye my friend, rest in peace with our Lord Almighty.
It was a privilege knowing you. I will remember you always.
