    I’m sitting outside our house, misty-eyed and reflecting on the wonderful stories other friends of Barry had written. He and Miriam lived two blocks from us and for that Marti, my wife, and I are eternally grateful as it allowed us to be there for one...  more

    Dear Barry, my heart is heavy with sadness but at the same time joyful for the time we spent together in friendship. It was in those "hazy" days of the late '60's, sharing the apartment near DU when I was substitute teaching and you worked at...  more

      Betty Carlson Barry, when I think of you my thoughts go back to Smiley Jr High and the 75 yd dash which I ran wearing YOUR track shoes. Girls didn't wear track shoes but you said go for it, so I did. Was that why I won the race and broke the record that day? I don't...  more

    Barry's courage, grace and good humor in facing the end of his life is an inspiration. Listening him talk about his perspective on the world is like standing on top of a mountain and seeing for miles in all directions. I feel very lucky to have known him.
