I was friends with Barry as a child but lost touch with him over the years. I remember visiting him at his house whan he was in a body cast. Even then Barry was smiling and in great spirits. Rest in peace my brother and may we meet again one day.

I was friends with Barry when we were kids in grade school but lost touch with him over the years. I remember visiting him at his house whan he was in a body cast. Even then Barry was smiling and in great spirits. Rest in peace my brother and may we meet again one day.

May Barry rest in peace while his family finds comfort in knowing that he is now home.

I prey you are finally at peace, my friend.

My prayers and thoughts are with all of the Flippen family.  May Barry's music and memories play in your hearts.

Barry helped me with my house and also  always         encouraged me. .the last time I saw him was on a Friday nite . We had a nice chat in the hall. I will offer Mass for all of you and Barry this Sunday..........

Please read the poem the SONG OF THE RIVER  by William Randolph Hearst . It is on Google and      very healing and TRUE.

My deepest sympathy to The Flippen family.  
You will remember your son, brother and friend as the wonderful person and musician that ROCKED all of New Orleans… I am sorry I never heard him but I did hear the stories of his fabulous drum SOLO's and the energy and love he expressed through his music.   I'm sure that he would want all of you to celebrate this today … Please know that my family and I will be here for you now and when you come home.   I love you all.. In Sympathy, Debbie Delesandro Jones 
Goodbyes are not forever. Goodbyes are not the end. They simply mean, I'll miss you until we meet again...

I met Barry and Andy Villafarra one evening in Fat City. We jammed and it sounded great. I always hoped that one day we would jam again. Always thought of him as one of the great drummers in New Orleans. We Will Jam Again One Day!!! Rest in Peace my friend.

My condolences to the family. Barry was an extremely talented musician and a kind man and longtime friend . This truly makes me very sad .
Rest in peace buddy.

Sad news. Barry was a great drummer. I knew him from high school.

One of the things that helped me through the beginning was the outpouring of words,cards,and the presence of those who loved us.
People told me about "time" helping me through.
I can offer you the truth of this and assure you that God is really merciful and that He has your child in safekeeping until you are reunited with Barry.
I am so,so sorry Aunt Carmen and all of my cousins.
I will see you Thursday.
God bless and keep you all....Love,Melanie

Our prayers and thoughts are with you Aunt Carmen, and to all my cousins during this most difficult time. I'm sure Barry is heading up the most awesome band in Heaven with all the great angels who he has joined. May he rest in peace and watch over his family during this tough time.

My deepest and most sincerest heartfelt sympathies and condolences go out to my relatives in this most sorrowful of times.  May Barry's spirit rest with the former angels of our family who have passed.  Barry will be forever loved and sadly missed.  My prayers are with the family.  (Cousin) Michelle
