To the Hubbard Family:

It was truly an honor to know such a great man. He truly was one of the most genuine, unselfish, kind-hearted men we have ever had the pleasure of knowing. He had the biggest heart of anyone we know and never complained about any of the health problems he was facing or anything else in general. We can still smell him when we think of him because everytime we would see him we would tell him how good he smelled :) He contributed and helped with various fundraisers for our company. I actually met him while doing a fundraiser for the Humane Society at Pet Supplies Plus. We shared a love for all animals. He was definitely a great loss here on earth but God has something even better in store for him. He is in heaven where there is no more suffering and pain, a place where he can be happy and carefree and smile down at us. I hope that thought can bring you peace at a time such as this. Please let us know if we can do anything to help ease this process. Again it was an honor to know Mr. Barry Hubbard.

Our Deepest Sympathies,
Mary Anderson and the TitleMax Family of Northport, AL

My condolences go out to the family of Barry whom I was blessed to meet four years ago at a time when I was at the lowest point I ever reached in my entire life. He came to my rescue and made it possible for me to turn my life around and break a downward spiral. Had it not been for him, I probably would have not made it. I remember him and a friend transporting so much furniture and other household items away for donation or as gifts. He never wanted anything in exchange, always insisted on calling me "Sir," because, he would tell me that was the way his father raised him. All the wonderful tributes to him that I have read in this guestbook confirm what I already knew about him. He never pressured me to remove many boxes of books and professional materials that he graciously offered to store for me until my health permitted me to remove them.  I had been unable to reach him for quite a while to inquire about it and would appreciate if any family member who reads this might be able to let me know if Barry was still storing the books of this retired UA professor. I can be reached at the PO of my village zip 23960. I shall miss Barry so much and remain ever grateful for his support and concern for my well being.

Paul, please know that you have our deepest sympathy in the loss of your son.  We have been out of town and just returned late yesterday afternoon and read about Barry today.  Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.  Love and prayers, Melvin and Dot Deslattes

I will always have nothing but fond memories of Barry.  I've known Barry since the first grade.  I remember being jealous of him because he lived in the house closest to Vestavia Elementary School; it blew my mind that he could walk to school:).  Barry was always a very popular student.  His quiet demeanor and spirit would draw others to him.  In reading some of the notes left on this guest book, it is evident that Barry's giving spirit followed him throughout his life.  This is a quality that we should all seek in our own lives.  May God bless the Hubbard family in this time of loss.  May you find peace in knowing that Barry touched many lives over the years.  After visiting the family at the visitation service this morning, I took a few minutes to look at the photos of Barry displayed at the sign-in table.  After a few moments, my tears were replaced with peace and a smile because I have nothing but fond memories of Barry.

What a good neighbor Barry was to Joe and I.  I will never forget the time Joe was cutting a tree and Barry kept telling me to get out of the way while Joe kept cutting.  I remember a sweet, caring young man who took time to be with you.  Even though we have not seen him in a long while our memories are vivid and filled with love for a wonderful young man.  "Those who live in love live in God. 1 John 4:14."

Thinking of you and your family during this difficult time, Nikki. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you.

Barry was a very special person and a friend to all - people as well as animals.  If he knew someone needed help, he was there to do anything he could.  If there was an animal in need, Barry was always there to help in any way possible.  He was a very loving person.  Many of us will be lost without him.  I will miss his smile, his sense of humor and his caring ways.  Be at peace my friend.

I've known Barry since the 1st grade and have always thought the world of him, his kind spirit and funny sense of humor. I have some great memories of times together and I am sad that the world has lost him but Heaven has certainly gained 'one of the best'!

Barry was a kind and generous soul.  He will be sorely missed.

I remember Barry in high school. He was a kind and sincere guy. He will be missed by all.

I'm very sad that Barry has died. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Barry was a gentle and kind man who was willing to help anybody, animal or human. Only a few days before his death, he was driving around our neighborhood looking for a neighbor's lost dog and just a little later on the same day, putting up his ladder to check his "Granny's" roof for leaks. He will be missed very much.

Barry was an awesome man--friend to everyone he met.  Rescuer of all creatures--great and small.  His caring, loving, and compassionate nature will be remembered by all of us who knew him for as long as we live.  I loved him like he was my own child, and he will live in my heart forever.

Barry had a loving and forgiving heart.

Kate Hilton, Northport, AL

My prayers are with Barry's familyand friends. I grew up with Barry all through school and he was always one of the kindest people you would ever meet. I am so sorry for your loss.

Barry was genuinely one of the kindest people I've ever met. He offered others his help not for recognition but because that was who he was.  His passing is a loss for us all. It was a pleasure and a blessing to have known him.

The Humane  Society Flea Market will truly miss Barry.   He was helpful to all.
I am so sorry he was not able to live the long life that he deserved.
                           
                                       Yvonne Houben, Tuscaloosa, AL

I met Barry through his great love of animals.  His passing is a great loss to his Humane Society family.  He will be missed.

Prayers are with the family.  Barry was such an incredible person.

You all are in our prayers and thoughts.  Barry was one of the best friends anyone could ever have.  I consider myself fortunate to shared our high school times together.

I was out of town when I learned of Barry's passing and was thinking of him on my return home early Monday morning.  I recalled our times volunteering at the Humane Society and was remembering Barry with some of the animals that crossed our paths.  There was a light that sprang from him when he was holding and comforting an animal - Aunri' the rabbit, the abused horses he helped relocate, the puppies (Jackie and Justin) he rescued, all the kittens rescued from the tornado and so many. many more.  I was so sad and mourning our loss. Then I recalled the poem "The Rainbow Bridge" about all the animals that have crossed over into heaven and thought "Buddy, that's where you are - taking care of God's creatures."  During my drive the sky was overcast and gray, but as soon as I recalled the poem - the sky cleared and the sun shined but it began to rain.  I glanced down to turn on the windshield wipers and when I looked out the windshield again - there was the most beautiful rainbow spanning the highway - never have I seen one so spectacular!!  I felt peace and love in that instant - I know that God, and Barry, sent me a sign to share with everyone left behind.  Barry is at peace with the Father and is continuing to give his love to God's creatures.  It was a true honor and priviledge to know him and have him in my life. I will never see a rainbow without thinking of Barry. Peace be with you, my friend, until we meet again.

The Barry I knew was very much worth knowing. He was  caring, friendly and extrodinarily willing to give of his time and self to help others. His loss is a shock and my sincerest condolences to his family and the knowledge he leaves us with a good and enduring memory. Jerry Rosenberg

When Nikki married Frank and became part of our family, Barry became a treasured member also.  He was a compassionate person who saw a silver lining to any situation.  We love him and will miss his presence in our lives.
May God give you strength and peace.

So sorry for your loss.  Barry was the sweetest person in the world.  Your family will be in our prayers.

I have nothing but good memories of Barry.  We had fun times together growing up during our school days.  I will continue to pray for God's peace and love to surround you in the days ahead.

My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

I witnessed a lavish generosity emitted from every compartment of Barry's life.  He lived a true selfless service to anyone in need. We grieve a great loss.   Candace Weaver

So sorry for your loss.  I have heard wonderful things about him. Thoughts and prayers are with all of you. 

Sincerely,
