I can’t believe you’re gone. Especially in this way. So very glad we had a chance to catch up in O.C. last September, after a bit of a hiatus, but I had expected many more good times to follow. Our days at Council Rock, summers in O.C. and Bucks County, skiing in the Poconos, clubbing in NY, and all the fun you had with (my brother) Steve that I got to hear about. You will forever be a member of “The Idaho Gang” from 2002, when you brought us all I❤️NY T-shirts in tribute to 911 and courageously climbed on a horse each day to herd cattle, despite your anxiety. I was so very grateful you gave me a place to sleep, in TriBeCa, shortly thereafter, while I attended a week-long downtown. I will never forget touring ground zero and going back later for St. Patrick’s Day and meeting Kara for the first time. We've been busy raising our families in different states since your awesome wedding, but we always found time to check in. I hope that continues with Kara and the boys. I feel like I have lost another brother. Thanks for all of these years, for your sense of humor, for the great memories, and the sense of adventure you shared with us. I think you knew how much my entire family cared about you. That will never die. I hope Curtis and Reed realize how cool their father was. RIP.🕊

My deepest sympathies for your profound loss. My prayers are with you all.
I first met Barry at preschool at age 4 in Richboro, PA. In fact, he was my first kiss!
We shared classes together all through elementary school as well.
Don't recall if we went to Jr. High school together, but I know we were in high school at Council Rock. We ran in different circles by then, but I would see him daily in homeroom.
Barry's father was my older sister's favorite teacher in high school.
Our families also attended the same church, St John's United Methodist in Ivyland, PA.
His beautiful mother Evelyn, had the voice of an angel. I marveled at her solos on Sunday mornings!
Though I didn't keep in touch with Barry over the years, I pray he is now at peace, and his family can take solace in knowing he helped so many people through organ donation. Peace.

💙Heartfelt sympathy and prayers for strength are sent to Barry's family and friends. As a fellow Council Rock HS classmate, we all just attended a reunion in June. I think we all realized during this time that we are a "CR family" regardless of our circle of friendships throughout our school years. So from our family to yours, we share in your loss of one special Son, Husband, Father, Friend.
Rest in Eternal Peace, Barry🙏

I'm not sure when I met Barry, but it had to be in middle school at CR Newtown and all the way through high school. Thankfully, many of our Class of '80 just got together for our 40th reunion, and it was wonderful to see so many old friends, some we've lost touch with, others we remain close friends til this day. I was fortunate enough to catch a quick dance with Barry. And thinking back on it, he had such joy on his face the entire evening! I am very thankful for that evening, and I am grateful that Barry was there to help us celebrate old friendships! He was such a nice guy and I know his loss will be felt very deeply for those that loved him. Wishing peace and love to all of his family and his friends and much love from Barry's fellow classmates from Council Rock High School Class of 1980.

We are so sorry to see the loss of Barry. Dennis remembers having him in class and what a great student he was. We send our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Kara-

I am terribly sorry to hear about the passing of your husband. I remember seeing the great pictures of he and your sons. My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to you all at this time. Warmly- Carolyn Clancy

Kara and family… I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I am so pleased that I had the wonderful pleasure of meeting Barry this spring when Read joined the Gold team. Barry was so approachable and had a very warm and friendly spirit. In such a small amount of time he made a big impression on the team and I know the love he showed your family will carry you through this difficult time. I will keep your family in my prayers for your healing.

Dear Kara, Curtis, Reade and family
We are praying for you during this time.
We are here for you to assist to the next stage.
Our live to all.
Alice and Don MacLennan

I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to sit with and catch up with Barry at the CR 40th reunion. We talked a lot about family , careers and sailing.

Barry was a true gentleman in every sense of the word. Had not changed from high school days just add several more accomplishments to an already wonderful life. I could tell how much he loved his family and kids by the way he talked about you all and how his face lit up.

He will be missed by many and the world will be just a little less bright without Barry in it. His memory will live on with us all.

Dear Kara and family:

I am so very sorry for your loss. I hope the wonderful life and memories you have shared with Barry will provide comfort to yourself and your family over time. You are in my thoughts.

With love,
Alex

Dear Kara, Curtis, and Reade,

I am so sorry for your loss. Barry’s smile was contagious and, as Curtis’ teacher, I am thankful to have been able to chat with Barry so much last year on field trips and pickups. Those moments feel incredibly special right now and speak to how close he and Curtis and Reade were. His legacy lives on through his incredible sons. Curtis was a delight to get to know; mature, self-directed, reflective, insightful, an insatiable learner, and above all kind and generous to his classmates. Curtis has strong friendships and a resilient spirit, qualities that might give him strength at this difficult time. The three of you are in my thoughts.

Dear Kara and family:

I am so very sorry for your loss.
I met Barry and you Kara at the ski trips with Ed Haug. Barry was a great skier and I liked skiing with him. Last time I met him was about 5 years ago. After the official party, we spend the rest of the night talking about life. I will remember that discussion with Barry for my life.
Barry was a quite remarkable open-minded friend.
With love,
Cornelius from Germany
