Such a shock to learn about Barry’s passing.  He was such a wonderful guy.  Had so much fun during the softball days.  Diane my heart goes out to you especially and to your family.  With Love, Phyllis 

Always had a huge smile on his face every time I saw Barry at his store or B/L store. I was a kid in a candy store when I visit him. Loved his baseball caps and chatting of NY Yankees.

Setting up at shows , you n Barry golfing . You n Diane’s visit. Think of you often, miss you.

I am so sorry and sad to hear of Barry's passing. My condolences to his family. Barry was always so
Sweet and nice to me. His smile was always on and his baseball caps. Couple of fun discussions when i would come to his business and he would test me on sports. Gone too soon and will be missed. 
Rest in peace Barry! 
May memories bring you gifts to soothe your souls! 



We are still in shock and saddened by his sudden passing.  He was a wonderful, caring, kind, loving man who always put his family first.  I am so glad that he came up for my daughter’s wedding and that we were able to have some fun times together and made memories and I am glad that he was part of our family; we love him and will miss him. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Barry was my friend for over 40 years. He was also my teammate and Manager.  With Barry at the helm we would win numerous championships. He was the person who kept the team together. He chose good ballplayers,(of which he was one)  but he also picked good people. Winning was important but more importantly was having fun and enjoying the game we all loved.

Those Spring and Summer Sunday morning softball games were a big part of our lives. So was the hour or two sitting around after the games chewing the breeze with my teammates. I probably laughed more in those few hours than I did all week.

If not for Barry none of that would have ever happened. Whenever I pass a ballfield I will think of Barry and all those Great Memories! 
   Diane and family you are in my thoughts and prayers.

This is so very hard for us and everyone.  Barry will miss you golfing n business wise and most of all friendship. I am at a loss that you are gone, way too soon. You always put a smile on my face  and made me chuckle. Rest In Peace old friend. Life will not be the same . ❤️🙏😢

To the best father in law a girl could ask for. You will be missed more than you know. From the day your son introduced us I felt peace. You were so helpful and kind in all ways. When our wedding almost fell apart you and Diane stepped up and helped no questions asked. When we had the kids birthdays you were there bringing loads of food. You were very special to the kids and I. And we loved you from day one! The kids and I were blessed to have you in our life’s. Fly high Pop Pop. 

Barry will forever be missed.  He was always pleasant and kind and the best neighbor a person could ask for.  Our deepest condolences and prayers to his wife Diane and his family during this most devastating time. - Louis & Kristine DeKany

"Uncle" Barry is my Godfather.I am deeply saddened by the news of your passing. Our last visit was during Stephanie's wedding, what a wonderful memory! My Godfather kept me up to date with all the barbie dolls my heart could desire and, of course all the accessories. Additionally he brought me my first rescue dog, Spooky, whom he saved while working at the town sanitation dept. Rest in peace 💔, Love always, Geri-Lyn

You guys were all my older cousins, and I fondly remember always calling you "uncle" and "aunt" instead. I always loved going to your house and spending the night, you were all so loving and kind and I always looked up to you all. I remember when Barry and Diane would visit my mom, Barry played jokes on us. He was the "sports guy" as I remember. I will pray for all of you and I send lots of love. Too much loss in our family lately...my heart aches. Love to you all.
Brian.

My loving brother I miss you so very much my heart is broken rest in peace my big brother till we meet again take care of the family up there I love and miss you

Diane - my heart goes out to you and your family. Barry was such a kind neighbor and I will miss him greatly.
My thoughts and prayers are with you as you navigate this heartbreak.

Your friend and neighbor,
