Doesn’t seem possible you joining mom, dad n spuds in paradise four years ago yesterday (6/24/25). Your soft spoken voice, your conversations, your good advice and your teasing is missed! RIP

Barry was a great man. He loved his family.  I'm glad to have known him.

Barry, you are missed deeply by all. We take comfort in knowing your no longer in pain and that you are resting with loved ones. I miss your teasing me! 💙

Barry was a great husband and father. I remember him beaming after Jennifer was born. He was so proud of her.

Looking through all these photos are so heart warming of a great man, Son, husband to my sister (Mary Ann), father, grandfather, Uncle, Godfather, Brother, Brother in law , nephew, cousin, co-worker and great friend! He was always soft spoken, kind, caring, helpful, encouraging, mentor, hard working, a comedian lol and loving just to name a few of his wonderful traits he shared and past onto others. Barry you are going to be dearly missed on this earth but we all will meet you again one day! Till then see you later, Linda

Sending our deepest condolences to  Mary & Family🙏🏽 From the Hernandez Family. God be with you all during this difficult time😔 in Jesus name🕊

Sending our love to the Steele Family. The video tribute touched my heart. Hoping and praying that the Savior’s arms are felt around Mary, her children, and her grandchildren.  

Barry was a wonderful father and husband.  He was a very gentle man and was very kind. May God Bless you Mary.

No words are enough to express our sadness. Our deepest condolences to Mary and the entire family. 
Rubén and I were Mary and Fred’s neighbors for over ten years. Fred always had a smile and a soft voice and to no doubt the best neighbors we ever had. We will miss him dearly as we have been in Florida for over twenty years but have enjoyed their adventures through the posts on FB. W e love you Mary; never will forget our last visit and both your kindness. 
May God embrace you in peace and His calming comfort through this time. 💜

Sitting at IHOP with tio, tia, and grandma, I notice Tio twisting the cap off the pepper. I asked what are you doing? He said “I like a little food with my pepper” 😂 we all could not help but laugh and joke with him.
Tio Barry was the most generous and sweetest of souls. He was so quick to always help a loved one in need. Through our conversations, he was always a voice of reason. Even when I would be so angry when telling him a story, his voice was always so calming that his positivity was contagious. He made a promise to my dad to always be there for me, and I can whole heartedly say, he did just that. I could call him at anytime about anything. He was truly the best Tio! 

Sending my deepest condolences to you aunt Mary and uncle Fred and family. He will be truly missed. I'm so sorry all this has happened so suddenly but know you are all in my heart ❤.  Love all of you 

There are no words to express the sadness of the passing of a man whose heart was so loving to all he knew
