To the Barry Family - I was so incredibly saddened to hear of your loss. My Family lovingly called him Mayor Pete. Always on the look out to make sure the corner of Donald and Walnut was safe and thriving for everyone. No doubt his loving presence will live on there and everywhere forever. He was a great Man. Best, Mark Murphy (The Walnut Street One)

So many wonderful memories of my childhood include Peter, and Kathy and their children.  Peter was so proud of his family, his home.  His smile was always warm and gracious, he will be missed.  My sincerest condolences to the family, you will all be in our thoughts and prayers.  Much love, The Federico Family 

Heartfelt condolences and love from Emiko, Hannah, Maya and me to your whole family. I have the warmest memories of your Dad - I was a dorky teenager uncomfortable in his own skin who sometimes looked for reasons to clash with adults. Any interaction with Papa Barry was always comfortable and gentle and above all, genuine. He is woven into the fabric of my memories of our friendship and of that formative time of our lives. May he rest in peace.

Kathleen, John and family;
My deepest sympathies & condolences on the passing of Peter. I know he struggled long and hard but please know his suffering is over. He is at peace now. In all my years at Sacred Heart, Pete was one of the kindest and friendliest people that I have ever met. He always had a big smile on his face and always went out of his way to say hi to me.  He and I had many conversations because we shared a love of Sacred Heart and West Brighton/New Brighton history. I could have a beer and talk with him for hours. He was a dedicated family man who loved his wife, children and grandchildren. He was so proud of all of their accomplishments. He also had close relationship with his brother in law John Perry who often called him his "Second Father".  Pete, John is like family to us at Sacred Heart and always know he has a special place in our hearts.  Pete will indeed be missed but there are fond memories and  we were fortunate to have him here for 81 years. I know it's always too short a time but remember he had a health scare 35 years ago and God in his infinite love and generosity gave him more time. Pete was one of "The Good Guys" that Sacred Heart and West Brighton has a habit of producing. I will miss my friend  and until we meet again may God hold you in the palm of his hand.
Jimmy Perrone  "The Bishop" & Family
