We were deeply saddened to hear of Barry’s passing. We offer our sincere condolences to you Nancy, Suzanne, Joanna, Alena and family. Barry was a joy to have around, always the life of the party. I will miss his banter with my father and Ed. He was a great friend to them and our family. Barry had a wonderful sense of humor and could tell a great story. We will always have those memories. He will be missed him dearly.
Love,
Greg and Christina

It was a pleasure to serve with Barry during our time in the Marine Corps. Barry, Adam Korzon and myself spent many times together along with “the Rinemobile”. Barry will be missed and I will treasure the photos I have from back in the day. Semper Fidelis Marine. It was an honor.
