So many wonderful memories of Barry,the laughs and time spent together over the years. I remember how close my dad and Barry became after Barry came home from serving our country. If there was ever a visit to or from Barry, there were always laughs and a good time. I am heartbroken over Barry’s passing, I know Barry and my dad are laughing and carrying on again. Keeping you, Marie, Michelle, Marie, Broc and the grandchildren in my thoughts and prayers.
