Barry’s therapy was a gift to my sister Janine. He always had a smile on his face and made her giggle.

Barry was a lovely person. His curiosity and kindness and sincerity were unsurpassed. He loved his family so much. The world will be a bit dimmer without his sunshine. My sympathies and love to all of his wonderful family.

My family met Barry through my Sister, Idella Spann. We found Barry to be a kind, loving man with a keen sense of humor and are so glad that he walked into our lives. I am so sorry for your loss and I am thankful that he brought such joy to Idella in the last few years and passed far too soon.

To Chri, Rob and your families,
Barry was more than my first cousin. I’ve always looked up to Big Barry as my big brother and friend. I felt shock and am still stunned when I reflect on his sudden, night-time departure. It was way too early and he was way too young. I thought of all my relatives, Barry would be with me for more years than I could possibly count. May God bless us, every one, because Barry, you inspired all the lives that you touched, and truly, you were so much more than a blessing to us.A good life leaves behind seeds that keep on growing. Your father’s stories, his values, and his love of family all live on in you. What a wonderful legacy.
With Love, Lea and John Barrett

LATER, WLIVED IN BOSTON AND VISITED MARISSA IN THE SUMMER, ROB, CHRIS, AND BARRY PUT ON A PUPPET SHOW FOR OUR SON ADAM AND HIS COUSIN STACEY, IN THE DRIVEWAY AT OF GRANDMA AND GRANDPA SCHICKEDANZ’S HOUSE IN MARISSA.

Sad news. I was a childhood friend of Barry. We were in the same grade at Marissa Grade School. Barry was the tallest kid in class and was always a favorite of everyone. Those were the days when most everyone was well behaved and polite in and out of class. We are all disappointed when Barry moved to Belleville.
The only time since grade school that I got to talk with Barry was at one of our 1962 Marissa High School reunions. Although he graduated from Belleville, luckily he found out about our reunion and thrilled everyone.
So sad that he passed away. He was a great kid…and no doubt a great father, husband, and grandfather.
