I'm so sorry to read of this this morning. He fought a good fight, that's for sure. Prayers for him and his family at this extremely difficult time.

this was my inspirational reading for this morning and I wanted to share because I think it fits and comforts:
"Buddhism views illness as an opportunity to attain a higher, nobler state of life. It teaches that, instead of agonizing over a serious disease, or despairing of ever overcoming it, we should use illness as a means to build a strong, compassionate self, which in turn will make it possible for us to be truly victorious." (Daisaku Ikeda)
this so describes Barry -

Yes, that first one made me cry that day, and then again today. It's amazing the second one was only 4 months ago.

Perhaps we could use this thread to have friends and family come and tell us their favorite stories of Barry. A sort of living memorial to such a gifted and talented man.
