You were truly a positive person and always so happy.  It was truly a pleasure to know you and to work with you.  I will miss you and will see  you on the other side.

Rima, I'm so sorry and sad to learn of Barry's passing. We were born 5 days apart and attended elementary through high school together. We spent a lot of time together, children growing to adults . As I lay awake at night I think of all the things we did together and all of the fun we had. As we choose our path life has a way of taking us in different directions. I remember your wedding and when you were in the process of moving to Florida and I was moving back to DC. I finally moved back to the west coast of Florida in 2001. Barry and I talked occasionally - always about getting together- but something in life always happened. NOW, (so sad) that will never happen. I'm sure Barry was a good husband. I know he was a good friend. And more important, a good person. I'm so sorry for your loss. My loss and the World's loss. I am so sad!   Dennis Staub

‘What’s going on?’ “Rent!” And other life lessons shared from conversations, but we never met face-to-face.

May his memory be of a blessing. 



Barry was a good close friend and best man for my dad Dennis. It's been a very long time since I was over the house having fun, talking sports with him and growing up as a friend of Stevie but seems like just yesterday. What a beautiful home and family.  Barry would always welcome me with a warm greeting, a big hug and friendly conversation. I looked up to him with his qualities of being a fun loving and sincere friend and a smart salesman. I love the whole family and wish them wonderful memories to come alive again and again during this time and to pass on to the grandkids. 

With much love from Ronnie Manning, Sylvia Shine and Family

We spent many wonderful times with Barry and Rima when we would come to Florida. Barry was always upbeat and often  gave us a good laugh! Barry will always be in our hearts.  We send to Rima and family love, comfort,  and strength.  May your fond memories of Barry bring you peace  at this difficult time. Love, Rose and Michael

Barry was a true gentleman. Always a hello and a hug. Always a kind word.  Always a friend. He'll be sorely missed. 

Our hearts are with his family. Please know he was beloved among his colleagues and friends as a wonderful person.

Barry was an absolute Great Guy - warm and friendly to the core.  As  friendly competitors, we enjoyed numerous lunches together and always found time to catch up whenever/where ever we would meet.  He was also a great asset to GCPPA while serving on the Board and I always appreciated his insight and input.  It was a pleasure to have known him.  My condolences to all his family and friends.

Dear family and friends of Barry,
How blessed we all were to be in his presence. To be able to enjoy his passion, his love for human kind.  His exhuberance to sell something just to make his customers happy. He use to say many times, let me buy you lunch? Always loved his business partners and the people around him. I am a much better person because I knew Barry and thanks so much for making everyone feel special! 
The memories of you will always be special! Thank you! 
May you rest in peace and God Bless you!Tommy Flanagan

To Barry's family: I am so shocked and saddened by Barry's passing!  We became acquainted when we both served on the GCPPA board and I quickly experienced his warmth, kindness, truthfulness and generosity.  Whenever we would see each other at meetings, events or shows, his was always the brightest, most sincere smile - like a hug for the heart before the real hug took place.  I cannot fathom the depth of your great loss and offer up prayers for you to find whatever courage and strength you need at this time.  May God rest him and may his memory be a blessing.

My deepest sympathy to you all. 
Barry was one of the finest men I have ever met. He was so good to me over the years. There was always a smile, a kiss on the cheek and genuine interest in how things were going. A good friend, a valued customer and one of a dying breed - a true gentleman.He will b sorely missed

My heart is heavy and sad to hear the news.  Barry was truly a wonderful and sweet soul.  He always would greet me with a smile and I always enjoyed spending time with him.  He probably was one of the only people who called me by my childhood nickname, that's how genuine he was.

Dearest Rima and family,

My heart is breaking for you and the glorious world that Barry helped to create!  He always had a smile and it shined on us all.  I hope you find solace in the fact he was loved by anyone who met him and we are better people because of his genuine love and friendship....We will miss him very much.

Hugs to you all...
Mike and Karen Blake

Barry was one of the warmest and welcoming people you could meet. Although we only knew each other from the NSU Ambassadors Board, he always greeted me with enthusiasm and the biggest smile you could ever want to see. Please accept my sincere condolences and I wish I could be there for the service, but unfortunately in these times it isn't possible.

Dear Rima & Family,

Just hearing Barry's name makes us smile.  He had such a love of life and people.  Going out to dinner with Barry meant you, him and a hundred of his closets friends.  He certainly is such an unforgettable character.  We have so many fond memories of camping, boating, parties and dinners with him and you.   We hope all those great memories comfort you.  We will miss him.

Our sincere condolences and love.
Dan & Susan Beckman
