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 occurred, 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 their son. Barry was just getting 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 pretty rough time on his own. He was doing great and he was looking forward to a bright future. Barry had hoped to finish college for Business Management and get a good job or start up his own company, which was his dream.
