I just found out about the passing of Rav  Barry Konovitch, Z’L. He was truly an amazing, human being full of compassion, love and kindness. He was a great Jewish leader and role model to me and so many others. He loved his family, friends, Israel and Jews around the world. May his very sweet Neshama have a higher Aliyah as he rests in heaven keeping his loving eyes on his wife, family, friends, Israel and Klal Yisroel. Baruch Dayan Emeth!
Respectively,

Rabbi Konavich was a good friend of mine at temple Anshe shalom. I will always remember his Friday night sermons while he tried to engage everybody. We had many conversations the Friday night kiddushand we shared many stories. he had a love for baseball and he asked me to present a presentation on Jewish baseball players which I did and it was well received and thank me profusely for doing it. He also was the one who recognized women for the first time in counting for a minion, I will never forget the night we had nine men and my wife and he said I see 10 people so from that day Forward the Temple recognize women equally. I have many fond memories of the Rabbi rest in peace barry I will never forget you.
