What a difference one solitary life meant to so many. My heart goes out to you Mary. You were such a special couple and he loved you so much. I always remember the loving and tender tribute he made to you at the Lincoln/Reagan dinner a few years ago. For now, you must grieve but there will come a time when all the beautiful moments of your life together will once again bring a smile to your face. God's loving arms are around you.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Huge loss for all. Barry will be missed, I can remember our sailing days on the Chesapeake Bay. I would wait for months to spend an exciting week with Captain Barr. Once we were dismasted in the Virginia part of the bay and Barry slowly navigated us back to Annapolis. He very seldom got rattled and was a joy to sail with. Barry loved a good cigar in the cockpit with a post anchor gin and tonic....or sleeping under the stars on the bay. for him, sailing was not the desination...it was the journey. What a great unforgettable friend.
