Barry and Pat were great friends. We spent many winters in Texas and many hours playing joker together.
My condolences and prayers to your family. Barry held a special place in my heart and I am so sad to hear of your loss. Whenever I hear “How Great Thou Art” I will be thinking of him. I’ll bet he is smiling down on all of you while singing his favorite hymn’s loudly from heaven.
Sending my sympathies to Barry’s family and friends as you honor his life tomorrow. My brother-in-law, David Collison, and Barry appeared to share a warm bond at Walker Levande. Our family witnessed them waving good-bye or hello as they would come and go at Walker. It was nice to meet two of Barry’s daughters when they visited him and we visited David. May you all feel blessed to have had your dad for so long.
