I close my eyes and there he is like right there in front of me, grade seven, Gardenview School, the coolest guy, a bit chunky, but an outstanding personality. The leader of the pack from the best class in the school. We will all miss him without a doubt. Murray Itscovitch

So sorry to see this. Barry and I were bussed to the Talmud Torah on St. Kevin from St. Laurent during the late 50's, and were later schoolmates in high school. He was a bit heavy back then and had the affectionate nickname of Chubby. Many years after loosing touch, he made a cold call on me at my work and, even though he was no longer that heavy for his size, I immediately recognized him and blurted out "Chubby!!" and he knew me right away and was cheerful about it.

Dear Nicole and Family, I am very saddened to hear of the passing of Barry. Barry was part of the St. Laurent group that I met at Sir George Williams University way back when. This group of friends still remains in touch with each other to this day with frequent lunches . Stories are told of past and present events and predictions of future ones, however we can never be prepared for days like yesterday . It is indeed a sad day but one for which we will celebrate Barry's life. Rest in Peace my Friend. ( I will be out of the country but will be with you all in my heart and vertually )

Nicole, so so sorry for your loss. Barry was a great guy, a wonderful neighbour. Dog daddy to Isadore (Issie). In the past many years, I would run into him in the lobby, waiting for his very special friend, Jerry Romisher who, it seemed to me, picked up Barry every day to meet "the boys" for lunch. What a unique and enduring friendship!!
