    I wish I could describe to you in words how wonderful a person Barry Jr. was. A loving Son and A loving Father. Barry always said that he wanted to have enough sons to start a football team! He was a very happy young man his whole life. Always ready with a joke or a smile for anyone that needed it!

    Barry was on his way home from getting his son a puppy for his birthday when the accident occured, he loved his son with all his heart. He was hoping to start his own business soon. He wanted to start a tattoo parlor, and he always told me and his mom, "don't you worry, I am goinng to start my own company and then I am going to take care of you like you have taken care of me all these years".

    Barry was full of life and joy and loved everyone in our family with all of his heart. You could catch him at any time playing with Jason in the other room, just the two of them! He loved his little nephew a lot. You could catch Barry either playing video games, working on the 1960 Chevy Impala that we were restoring together or just chilling out watching a movie with Arion at any given time.

    Barry was looking forward to his future and was excited about his upcoming marriage to his Fiancee, Erica, and the birth of thier son. After a very turbulent and miserable time with his past girfriend Barry was ready to enjoy settling down and starting the family that he always wanted. I found in his wallet later an address and phone number of a house that he had been checking out for his new bride to be and children.

    Barry had his up's and downs, good side and bad side, but he was most of all, a loving son. After living on his own for about a year and a half after he graduated high school, Barry had moved back in with us (Mom and Dad) and had been living with us full time for a little over a year and a half. He was hoping that by moving back home he would be able to get his life back in line after a disasterous and nightmarish experience with a previous live in girlfriend. He was doing great and he was looking forward to a bright future. Barry had hoped to finish college for Bussiness Management and get a good job or start up his own company, which was his dream.

    Seasons In The Suns
    By:Terry Jacks

    Goodbye to you, my trusted friend.
    We've known each other since we're nine or ten.
    Together we climbed hills or trees.
    Learned of love and ABC's,
    skinned our hearts and skinned our knees.

    Goodbye my friend, it's hard to die,
    when all the birds are singing in the sky,
    Now that the spring is in the air.
    Pretty girls are everywhere.
    Think of me and I'll be there.

    We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
    But the hills that we climbed
    were just seasons out of time.

    Goodbye, Papa, please pray for me,
    I was the black sheep of the family.
    You tried to teach me right from wrong.
    Too much wine and too much song,
    wonder how I get along.

    Goodbye, Papa, it's hard to die
    when all the birds are singing in the sky,
    Now that the spring is in the air.
    Little children everywhere.
    When you see them I'll be there.

    We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
    But the wine and the song,
    like the seasons, all have gone.

    Goodbye, Michelle, my little one.
    You gave me love and helped me find the sun.
    And every time that I was down
    you would always come around
    and get my feet back on the ground.

    Goodbye, Michelle, it's hard to die
    when all the bird are singing in the sky,
    Now that the spring is in the air.
    With the flowers ev'rywhere.
    I wish that we could both be there.

    We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
    But the stars we could reach
    were just starfish on the beach
