Barry was born in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia to the late Earl Hamilton and Betty Smith Day. He was a 1977 graduate of the Occupational Training Center. He was self employed and could do just about anything. He loved to fish and would often make his own fishing lures. Barry enjoyed being on his CB Radio where he was known as “Shag”, making model airplanes and then flying them and enjoyed crafts and painting. Barry helped stuff envelopes at the Community Baptist Church for the missionaries.
