Barry had a career in retail, having worked at Sears and Macys. He is a graduate of Mississippi State University and was an avid football fan. He was much loved, had a great sense of humor, and will be greatly missed.

Barry’s favorite poem…

O wad some Pow’r the giftie gie us

To see oursels as others see us!

It wad frae monie a blunder free us

An’ foolish notion:

What airs in dress an’ gait wad lea’e us,

And ev’n Devotion!

Robert Burns
