I met Barry at the colonial Laundromat when I worked there and we became good friends and we stayed in contact after it closed on Facebook. Barry was amazing friend . He was a genuine person didn't pretend to be somebody he wasn't and he just had a heart of gold. He is very much missed.
Prayers and hugs to the family and friends.
