I have read all these entries that reveal a remarkable man, husband, father, and friend. My sincerest sympathies and condelscences.

To Cookie, Lizie and the entire extended Stagman family,

My heart skipped a beat this morning when I received the call informing me of Barry's passing. What an overwhelming loss to his family, co-workers, large circle of friends and the Glencoe/Chicago community. Nothing can be said except we will miss him and are so sorry he left us too soon. Barry was a gentleman, bon vivant, tireless raconteur and a friend to all who needed him. He left a wonderful legacy and I will never forget he was my friend.

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers,

Cookie, Lizzie and family,
I am in shock about Barry's sudden passing.
He was the greatest, kindest man. He was so enthusiastic about everything: his love of his Cookie, the childrena and grandchildren, his personal and business friendships, the ballet company--just everything. He was a dear, sweet man. I will miss him. With love and condolences,

Dear Cookie, Lizzie and family,

Lizie, I am so lucky to have been a part of your life for the past 20 years. I will always have such wonderful memories of your father. My heart breaks for you and your family. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I love you, Fitz

I just wanted to extend my heartfelt condolences. Although we have not been in touch for a long time, I am deeply saddened by the loss of Barry. I have many fond memories of us all together.

Barry, was a very special person. He was always warm, friendly, charming, caring and had a zest for life that few people ever obtain.
He truly was one of the good ones you meet in life.
Anyone who had the chance to really know Barry has at least a memory that will make you smile.
Barry had a way of making you believe life is joyous.

I remember as young couples how we would bundle up the children and go to Barry's and Cookie's for dinner. The Kids would playing and Barry would have me laughing with stories.

I remember his 30th birthday, I stood by the white piano in his living room and he and I sang, it wasnt necessarily wonderful singing but it was Barry enjoying the moment to the fullest.
I am sure everyone can visualize Barry on the dance floor, he and Cookie certainly knew how enjoy the music. When Barry and Cookie would dance you could see Cookie was Barry's world, he had eyes for no one else.
Barry found happiness in everything from his family to his work and to his friends.

We will all surely miss him.

To his beloved Cookie, you two were an amazing team. You set the standard for what couples should be.Your children have a road map to life thanks to you.

I will miss Barry and I pray Cookie that your inner strength allows you to heal and rejoice in the life you and Barry had.

With my deepest sympathies and love

Marc

Our Deepest Sympathy,
