Our family would like to say he was a great man in many ways. He had a heart as big as Mt Rushmore. He had much love for his family and friends. He made a lot of money in his lifetime and he gave much of it away. He had a difficult time saying no to anyone in need. Barry will be sorely missed by all who knew him. Love you much my little brother, Jojo. To sign the online guest book, visit www.memorychapellaurel.com.
