Sending my love and remembering all our fun times together by the lake. ❤️

Wonderful reunion years with Roberta's Minnesota/Nebraska clan!

Fun trip to Madeline Island on Lake Superior with Barry and Roberta! Eating White Fish Eggs and visiting local fishermen! 

Annual Taylor Reunions at Pine Grove Lodge, Max, Mn. So many great times with the Minnesota family. RIP Barry.

Barry and Roberta taking us on a sea cruise!

Roberta, Dianne, Andy and all of Barry’s family:
James, Kari, John, Eric and I want to send our deepest condolences and love at this sad and difficult time. Our memories of Barry make us smile. Especially those we got to share with him at Pine Grove Lodge in Minnesota. Barry was the quintessential fisherman, so impressive with his innate craft. He loved the water. Where ever he found it. 
Wishing you all comfort and peace,
Kathryn & James Rudd and Family


To the McKay Family ... Barry’s wife Roberta, his daughters, his sons, and  his grandchildren ... my thoughts and prayers are with you.

It’s been so many years since I last saw Barry ... but the memories are there ... vivid, in tact, and so very special.  

Barry was a marvel ... he seemed to excel at whatever his interests were ... tennis, fishing, chess, bridge ... but what stands out most in my mind is the love & devotion he felt for his family ... his family was indeed his world.

Although it’s been so many years since our ‘little group’ ... spent so much time together, I remember those times all so well ... they were truly special ... thank you for the memories Barry♥️

Affectionately,
Laura Husband





Dear Barry McKay family,

We were saddened to hear of Barry’s passing. The James Okada family, my husband, (Greg Mahoney), and I have many fond memories of sharing time with Barry. 

His koi pond seemed to provide him peace. (Growing up we had a koi pond, so my dad and him shared many hobbies together.) He loved the freedom to smoke his cigar at my folk’s home. After a meal of freshly caught fish, my dad and Barry would sit at the dining table and had faces of gratitude. I had the opportunity to fish with Barry at Crowley Lake, Newport Beach, Dana Point, San Diego, Cabo San Lucas, etc. 

Roberta, in 2014 Barry drove Greg, Ray (age 92), and I down to San Diego to bring the Robert M to Dana Point. Two things I remember - how happy Barry sounded when he talked with you on the phone, and how appreciative Greg’s friend Ray (retired Navy) was that he got a trip on the Roberta M.

We are thinking about you with our hearts…. And remembering you in our prayers.

With deepest sympathy,

Cathy and Greg Mahoney
