Cody & Family: I first met Barry when we were looking for office space in the Pueblo Building - noted a gentleman quick with a smile and a laugh. As the years pasted, our meetings always included a report on Cody's progress with college and/or career, Morgan becoming part of the family, and Melissa and her husband. It was tough to watch when Alice past away - seeing Barry struggle with the loss and grief of her passing. I hope it is some comfort they are together again. May God Bless each of you and help you find peace and nothing but the good memories that will come with time.

Melissa, it has been so long since I've seen you. I was so saddened to hear of Barry's passing, please pass along to his son and family my deepest condolences. I talked to Barry a few years ago after learning of Alice's passing, but never followed up to visit, and I regret that. I consider Barry one of my best friends from 6th grade thru our days at ENMU, and he will be sorely missed. We are losing way too many of our high school classmates lately. My prayers for strength and understanding are for you, your family, and all of Barry's family and friends. Love to all, Jamie

Cody, Morgan, Melissa and Doc. Just know that Randy & my thoughts and prayers are with you all in the coming days. May HIS peace and grace be your cornerstone for moving forward. Sure will miss Barry, his laughter and that red hair. Blessings to you all, if you need anything you know how to get ahold of me. Love and peace to you.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
