Beloved husband of 57 years to Barbara (nee Clossman, deceased 4/20/2013). Survived by children David (Lynne), Jon, Debbie, and Danny and grandchildren Moselle, Jonah, Avi, Kendall and Shai. Predeceased by parents Harry and Jean and brother Ronny.
Barry was a graduate of Heights High School, Western Reserve College and The Ohio State University School of Medicine. He retired as Chief of Pediatric Radiology at Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital.
Barry was a veteran of the U.S. Army Medical Corps serving 1963 -1966 stationed in Verdun, France. While in France, Barry, Barbara and the kids traveled extensively throughout Europe. They often said that those were their best years.
Barry was sports fan especially of Ohio State football, the Browns and the Indians. He loved opera and classical music. He loved classic movies, particularly westerns and war movies.
He was a voracious reader of anything from interpretations of Talmud to Medieval poetry (sorry again for throwing out that ripped up copy of Poems of Euripides) to Stieg Larsson and Louis L' Amour.
He loved Sargento sharp cheddar cheese (his arteries were probably 50% cheese), pizza with double cheese, Double Stuff Oreos, Hershey bars, rock hard fruit, PB&J on white bread and Corky's x-lean corned beef.
He recently rekindled his love of cigars, smoking them on the way to doctor appointments much to the dismay of those of us accompanying him.
He was a complicated soul. May he find peace and comfort and rest easy, free from pain, with a half gallon of Rocky Road and a long handled American spoon.
