I am so sorry to hear this sad news. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Barry at Somat. He was a great coworker and was very helpful to me as I learned the job. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you as you move through the grieving process. Unfortunately I will be traveling next week so I will not be able to be at his service, but I wanted to at least reach out and send my condolences. God bless you all in your time of loss.

Barry's North Street Buddy
I send my deepest regrets and prayers for the loss of my best childhood friend. I am soory to say that i'm unable to attend Barry's funeral, but I'll be there in heart and mind. Barry and I shared quite a few years of our early childhood having fun and also getting into mischief together along with Chris Smith and Gene Bernheiser, all Pomeroy friends. I llived three houses away from Barry and we spent many years together between his house and my house and the "Old Swimming Hole", down by the railroad tracks. I lost track of Barry, when I joined the Navy, went to Vietnam and lived in San Diego. I only found out that Barry lived close to my old home, when my brother Art Williams told me that Barry had joined the Parkesburg UMC recently. I should have taken the time to seek out Barry before his passing. I have many things that I'd have liked to share with Barry. They will have to wait until we meet again in Heaven. God rest your soul Barry. Glenn A. Williams

My deepest condonlences, prayers and much love.
My good friend and fishing Pal
Gregory and Michael, I'm so sorry for the loss of your Dad. I've know Barry for over 30 years and watched him transition for welder to Engineer at Somat. I was amazed at how quickly he learned AutoCAD and assimulated into the department. I can't recall how many fishing trips we took together, both on charters and on the "Something Fishy". Barry taught me so much about fishing and he was always in pursuit of more knowledge about the sport. Your dad was fun to be around and I will miss him greatly. There were so many good times and full belly laughes.
Best regards, Joe
