I was sad to learn of Barry passing, and wish my condolences to the family.  I met Barry when he was selling one of his Falcon model airplanes.  We became friends because of our love of Aviation and I thought he was a Great guy.  He sold me several models and when I got my Man Cave set up I send him pictures.  I also had him come out to Spirit one time when the company I worked for was working on a Navy Trainer.  He will be missed.  

we will always love you Barry.   
the day you were born is the day God  decided that the world could not exist without you.  

Mary Pat, many blessings to you, your family and Barry.

This year marks 50 years of Friendship with Barry. In 1969, Barry taught me how to fly. He was my first flight instructor. I could tell you stories  about those early days of our friendship  and flying  that could keep you laughing for hours . I will never forget them . We have remained friends ever since. Not only was he the finest pilot I've personally ever known, but he was also one of the finest human beings I've ever known. Barry excelled in everything he did, from flying, photography, music, and shooting. Barry was funny, witty, and extremely smart. He was always willing to help someone who asked for it. My life has been truly blessed by knowing him. I will miss our frequent lunches together and his warm smile. I know I will be just one of many who will think of him often. Rest in peace my friend.

To the Oxenhandler family,
So sorry for your loss - he was a wonderful musician and all-around great guy.  He will be missed!  Don always said that he learned so much about music from Barry.

We love you, Barry! Dangit, we will miss you so much!  What a neat guy, and such a kind person, always amazingly positive and a joy to be near. Frickin' amazing musician, intelligent beyond most anyone, and a fabulous mentor, too!  We were LUCKY (blessed!!) by having known you, and gratefuly humbled and honored by having gotten so much time playing music with you.  Hope you get to make music where you are. You will for sure play on through us. 

Bob and I send our condolences, he was a wonderful man who adored his family. 
With deepest sympathies,
Barbara and Bob Bishop


A talented, funny, feisty friend who will be missed more than words can say...perhaps music will be a better testimonial.  

We were  blessed to have Barry be a part of our lifes playing music almost every week for the past 17+ years. He gave all who knew him great memories that will not be forgotten. We were lucky to have known him!
God bless his family with our deepest condolences.
Sincerely,
The Monday Night Jam Crew.
