Sending tons of love and affection for each one of you! What a legacy of remarkable, charismatic, talented and big-hearted people he left behind. He and Aunt Shirley were a terrific team together for decades. Their vibrant love and relationship had a huge impact. Bottom line: they were GOOD together. No, GREAT! Age takes away so much, but in my mind’s eye I see decades of them—wildly generous times when they poured so much love into my life, and my heart is filled with wonder and joy at the memories they gave me We were all blessed, and he was a dear sweet man, much loved!

Prayers for peace and comfort for the whole family as you release Barry into the arms of grace and lean into that peace that passes understanding. Barry was the “button” man at Concord Trinity as he spent hours repairing the upholstered buttons on the pew cushions. His smile will be missed.
