Although I hadn't talked with Barry for many years, and I only heard of his death from our mutual friend, Bill Sinwell, let me offer my sincerest condolences. I went to college with Barry, and he was a terrific guy. I remember pointing him out to my friends when we saw the movie "The Wedding." (I believe that was the title). He was funny, and a sincerely true friend to those who got to know him. My he rest in peace, watched over by G-d.
