Dear Barnett Family...my sincerest condolences on your great loss.  I did not know Mr. Barnett very well; however, in my few calls as a new resident he was exceptionally kind and helpful to me.  My prayers are with you at this time.

Dear Barnett Family members,
There is a huge hole left on this earth with Barrys passing. He was a great mentor and friend, to me, and so many other people. His leadership skills could not be matched. He was wise, well beyond his years. 

You meet a person like Barry once in a lifetime. Im glad I had the privelege to know him. Thank you for sharing him with a lot of people.  Lee Hampton

                              June 23,2017      God comfort and will keep you enduring in your time of need.

Our prayers and love to the Barnett Family

May memories of Barry and the love of family surround you and give you strength in the days ahead.

On behalf of the Orchard Trail Community in Avon, Ohio, we send our deepest sympathies and condolences to the Barnett family.  We appreciated the work he did on behalf of the people in our subdivision.  May he rest in peace, and may you all find comfort in the difficult days ahead.

I am so sorry to hear the news.  I have cleaned a clubhouse for him for the last 14 years and enjoyed meeting with him.  He never left you guessing what he wanted because he straight forward and sometimes bluntly made it known.  He was a gift!

Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.

Dear Barnett Family even though I can't be there with your family believe me I am there in spirit and the love that I have for your family can't be expressed in words .Barry and I were best friends for over 55 years. I was there when Michael and David were born and he was very when my kids were born. Barry was my best friend I loved him like a brother and i  am going to miss him more than you know. I will always have great memories that we did together as kids and adults.
I love you all  Sandy Lyndon

There are no words to ease the pain & grief of losing him so I offer my Love-support of any kind-heartfelt sympathy & my hugs & love when I see you in person. I Love you!! Bonnie (Q) Dodge

My Condolences to the Barnett family.  Sue, Megan, Nick, Michael and David, I pray God will give you strength at this time.

I was so very fortunate to have a friend like Barry.  I feel so truly blessed.  Barry was the first person that my husband and I met when we moved into Streetsboro.  He came over to our house and introduced himself as the only Jewish person on the block with the most Christmas lights.  We loved him immediately.  

Barry always made my family feel as though we were a part of his.  We celebrated birthdays and Christmas' together and I am so very fond of all those memories.  He was the most generous and loving man.  He adored his wife, kids and his beautiful grand daughter Maddie.  He also loved my daughter as if she was his adopted grand daughter.  

I will miss Barry dearly.  I am blessed to have known him.  He will always have a special place in my heart.  Playing black jack and shots of Crown Royal in your honor always!  

I will miss you...

I worked with Barry and always a fair and good man trying to do the right thing for his customers.  Barry had a love of the Beatles, and displayed it in his office.  A good man, husband, father and employer. He will be missed.

Our heart felt condolences to the Barnett family, especially to David, Jennifer, Michael, and Susan Barnett.  We will honor Barry from afar on Friday, however, our hearts and thoughts will be with you all.  Our Love and Sympathies, Ron & Johanna White

Deepest sympathy to the Barnett Family.  Barry had managed my condo assoc. in Brunswick for many years.  As Board President I worked closely with him and considered him a friend.  Though we lost touch over the past several years I always thought of him fondly.  He will be missed.

As I sit here in front of my computer, trying to find some words to type that will adequately express how I felt about Barry and how much he means to me, I simply don't know what to say. Even when you try to prepare yourself for something like this, it still hurts deeply.

Barry was one of the most kind, fair and generous men I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. Upon meeting our family, he immediately welcomed us in as his own family. He always introduced me to business colleagues as his nephew, not as his employee. He and I attended many meetings together and shared many bowls of won-ton soup at the Imperial Wok in Solon. He taught me everything I know about the property management business and helped me to be come what I am today.

Barry and I shared a special bond over our love of the Beatles. He once told me that Dear Prudence was his favorite John Lennon song. I will never be able to listen to that song again without thinking of him.

"Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play.
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day.
The sun is up, the sky is blue,
It's beautiful and so are you"

Rest in Peace Barry. I'll never forget you.

Love, Scruff

We will never forget you. We will pray for him as he prayed for us. May God give him eternal rest.

Dear Barnett Family, I am very sorry for your loss Barry was a great man and a great business man. he was honest and fair with his business he will be greatly missed

Dear Barnett Family,
We are saddened by your loss. We will never forget the great memories we shared with Barry.  
I was fortunate enough to spend some time talking with Barry on the deck a few weeks ago. He was so proud of his kids, and spoke so fondly of his new grand daughter. He told me, "Every Birthday counts."

I BOWLED WITH BARRY FOR MANY MANY YEARS AND WILL GREATLY MISS HIM. WE WILL MEET AGAIN ONE DAY ON THE LANES IN HEAVEN AND HE WILL PROBABLY BEAT ME AGAIN. LOVE YOU BARRY. ED LASCH

May the loving God of all comfort be with the family and friends.

So sorry for your loss David.  I have prayed for your Father and you.  Keep the memory of him alive. I will continue to pray for you, David, as you take on the job of running the Management Company.
