Barry had a great love for sports. He was a huge fan of the New York Yankees, New York Knicks, New York Rangers, and New York Giants. His love of sports extended beyond just being a fan, as he played many years of flag football and softball with his brothers, before becoming a baseball coach for his son. Barry was a man of many talents, most notably his ability to fix and repair almost anything. With his free time, Barry enjoyed playing basketball, horseshoes, darts, and video games, particularly Gran Turismo and Call of Duty.
