Barry,
You were truly one of my very best friends. You are greatly missed, most especially for your humor and loyalty. I can honestly say that outside of immediate family, I trusted no one more than you.
Barry and I were roomates for almost 3 years before I got married. I was his last roomate and I believe that Barry and I shared a mutual respect for one another that will treasured for the rest of my life. To know him was special.
Hey Barry, I'll be thinking of you at the Cardinal and Coyote games this year. Barry sure loved his Bears and Blackhawks!

B- This is an anniversary I would not have expected to have for a very long time and would give almost anything for more time with you to finish what we started. (Sounds great, don't it!) You taught me many things about love and life, but most importantly, showed me there is nothing better than laughter with your best friend! You were in my life for many different reasons and now I know someone else needs you more. I take the love you gave freely and the lessons learned, but leave my heart with you, always. Thank you everything! Until we laugh together again...
Love Forever,
Shirley Schmidt

I never had the opportunity to meet you Barry, but I feel as if I know you from all the fun, loving stories I hear from Nicole. What a tragic loss this has been for her. She thinks the world of you. Please don't worry, I'll comfort her the best way I can. Enjoy paradise!!
