I went to school with Barry.  I had every intention of going to the funeral, but had my dates mixed up, and have a conflict.  Barry was such a kind person with a fun sense of humor.  Barry will be missed.   Surrounding you all in prayer and loving memories.

I was sad to have learned that Barry is no longer with us. I appreciated his sense of humor and his encouragement was always perfect timing! I enjoyed his stories that included the car races, boating and of course his adorable dog, Callie.

I am glad to have been able to call Barry my coworker and friend! Tuesday morning auctions at Adesa will not be the same without him. We were in the same lane most of the time.  Barry helped to make it fun whenever we had a questionable vehicle to drive through. It was fun to tease each other about who was driving which cool camero or big truck. Alot of times it was easier for him to get in a truck than it was for me. 

 He also was helpful when I needed some extra encouragement and safety a few times as he had to or chose to follow me when  I was unsure I would make it back to Adesa from being out on the road. 

I know I will not be the only one missing him at Adesa.

I will keep you all in my prayers as I too will be missing Barry.

Sorry for your loss. We are going to miss Barry at Adesa. He loved to yuck it up with us and had a great sense of humor. 

This is Mark Hopkins...I worked with Barry many years at Emco...was a funny dude and a hard worker....thoughts n prayers to his family...LOVE GOD n  each other

This is one of my favorite 'Barry Classics'.... Barry bought an above ground pool for the family to enjoy.... The next step was to level an area large enough and close enough to the deck to install the pool..... I was more than happy to help..... I suggested he go grab a Dingo and I would grab some beer and few 2x4's.... Imagine my surprise when I saw that he had rented an entire skid-steer..... :) Anyway we did have a lot of fun with it.... tore up his back yard and a guy could even make the argument that we hit the barley pop too much and the pool was still crooked. :)
