Hey Dad,

This is my first time coming up here since you left. I can't believe it’s been almost 4 years. I was so excited for the day when you'd come home, to finally get to know you and introduce you to your grandkids. But Allah had other plans.

I wish I had more memories with you, but until we meet again, continue to sleep in peace . 

Man! I love you soo much bro! Words can't explain the impact that you have on my life. I miss you dearly. I can't stop talking about you. From the moment you first taught me how to throw a punch until this very day, you are constantly on my mind CHYNAMAN. For four years straight!!! after teaching me how to box and defend myself, you were in my brain. Words can't come close to explaining the impact you have on my life. I'm getting better but am devastated that you are gone. You will forever live on through the music I created.  Every person I meet I let them know about you. I train fighters myself now. My first fighter scored a first round knockout after losing in a decision to the same opponent who beat him. I trained him for about 21 days and we knocked him out in less than 90 seconds. You created a monster lol. 😂 Man I love you. I miss you. I'll keep you updated. I cry most times I think of you man. God is blessed to have you.

Wow , To Barry's family and Friends my heart felt Condolences... And Again WOW !! I have not thought 9f Barry in some time matter of fact last time I seen him was back in 96 97 .. 

Now we were not great friends not not at all .. but he gave me respect as I gave him . You could tell Barry was a good person from what he said how he acted in a place we were in .

We talked now and then at times it was about boxing as well at basketball which he was very good at .. where we were at we also worked together in a Gym go figure ...

I was just sitting at home in Bridgeport CT and for no reason I know of a thought of him popped in my head .. I punched in his name to Google and here I am . He was the first thing and person that popped up .. 

To Barry's family death is not death not at all it is just another faze of Life we all must take .. yes we left behind hurt and miss the person who has left .. but has he ! Keep your hearts open think of him everyday talk to him he will hear you he may even answer.. I speak from. My own experiences. 

To Barry,  you are no longer around but you made a difference to all you were around well you did to me but I have to believe that you have to so many.. 

GOD BLESS !

Barry is the closest thing I ever had to a friend. He became my best friend. He taught me how to defend myself.  Chynaman was a genius in self defense. He was so nice to me when everyone else hated me for no reason. I will forever remember my dear friend. The things that he taught me I literally pass on everyday to the people who need it most. I had the luxury of picking the brain of a master boxing trainer day in and day out for almost a whole year. I’ll never forget what my best friend taught me. And promise to pass it on. He will forever be alive in my heart and memories. Much love and respect.
