We met while taking a “coding” class at the community college.  He was funny,  interesting, and generous with his time.  One of the funniest stories I remember is  how he named the “stray” kitten he had picked up on his way home one evening.   The cat’s name was Lunch because when he came home with the little fellow in his pocket his dog barked and it sounded like lunch!  

I considered him a good friend.  I am sorry we lost touch.  Life gets in the way.

I’m devastated…I’ve known Barry since 3rd grade. He was one of my oldest friends …
