Barry Finkel Obituary

Ruthie, Bradley & Scott,

Your mom, dad and I go back many years before they were ever married. We shared so many fun times together as singles and later as married couples with millions of laughs. Your dad was such a storie teller back then. Rick & I have fond memories of the times we shared that always brings a smile as we look back on our early years. We too feel your loss at this time and pray that in time your wounds will hear, but your heart will never forget the loss of your loved one.

With love and deepest sympathy,

Debbie & Rick Tully

Brad and Scott,

As a college roommate of your mom's, I have known your father for a very long time as you well know. Please accept my deepest sympathy on this tragic loss. Remember the good times, cherish your moments together, and know that he loved you both.

You can always count on "us girls" to support both of you along with your mom.....

Dear Brad and Scott,

Please accept my heartfelt sympathy and offer my condolences to your extended family. Your father was very proud of both of you and it was a pleasure visiting with him during school related events. Please feel free to drop by my school office any time I can be of comfort or assistance for you. Fondly,

"Death cancels everything but truth; and strips a man of everything but genius and virtue. It is a sort of natural canonization. It makes the meanest of us sacred—it installs the poet in his immortality, and lifts him to the skies. Death is the greatest assayer of the sterling ore of talent. At his touch the drossy particles fall off, the irritable, the personal, the gross, and mingle with the dust—the finer and more ethereal part mounts with winged spirit to watch over our latest memory, and protect our bones from insult. We consign the least worthy qualities to oblivion, and cherish the nobler and imperishable nature with double pride and fondness." -William Hazlitt (1778-1830)



May your memories be blessed ones.

Our condolences to the Finkel and Dionissopoulos Families, and all others who have been touched with the passing of Barry. Keep your heads high with a smile, and always remember the good he brought to your lives. Rememberance is your gift.

Dear Family,

Our sincere and heartfelt sympathy at this difficult time. We pray the memories you carry in your heart will give you strength and comfort.

With Sympathy, Joe & Roberta

Dear Diane,

My thoughts and prayers go to you and your family

God Bless to all of you

Diane and family.......

I always enjoyed doing work for the Finkels because you are just good people.

My sympathy goes out to you and your family.

A tremendous void has now been created in our lives. I will miss Barry's humor and all of the unselfish kindness shown to my family.

On behalf of Bob Hooker, Gail Orenstein and myself at Total Quality Media, I would like to extend our sympathies to the Finkel family at this time. We were clients and friends of Barry's for the past three years. During that time we came to appreciate his unique sense of humor along with his accounting skills. We will miss him very much and we have no doubt that his family and close friends will feel the same.
