He had just celebrated his 65th birthday. He was born to the late Richard and Patricia McCormick (Haley) in Brockton. Barry grew up in Avon and graduated from Thayer Academy. He spent most of his summers in Gray Gables since childhood and his love of the Cape kept him there throughout his adult life. He worked at the Chart Room in Cataumet for over 20 years serving up drinks behind the bar. Shortly after his time there, he began a new career in sales for Martignetti Companies. A man of many interests, Barry enjoyed walking on the Cape Cod Canal, was an avid reader, a passionate gardener, and an exceptional cook who loved to
entertain and be the perfect host. Above all, he was a dog whisperer to Pudgie, Scout, and Oliver.
He is survived by his loving wife Dale Flanagan, his daughter Bridget Taksir (Dobbins), and son-in-law Mike Taksir. He also leaves his sister Maura McCormick, brother Brian McCormick, sister-in-law Mary McCormick, aunt Pamela Duffy, uncle Peter Haley, and many nieces and nephews. He is also predeceased by his sister Meg McCormick.
Please join us in celebrating Barry at the Brookside Club,11 Brigadoone Rd, Bourne, on Friday December 13th , from 1 – 3pm. All are welcome.
