A Good Man …
I worked with Barry on 7 Tandem many years ago. Even though he was fighting the MS he would never allow anyone to help him, even though we wanted to. I never heard him complain and he always did his job even though it was a struggle for him. A braver, better man I have never known. Rest in Peace my friend. Semper Fi.
