I’ve seen mr Barry around Durham driving his cab I did not know him that well but when I open my thrift store on university dr he would come in and talk.thinking back 30yrs who when I first moved here I would see him and his wife at south square mall he would be dressed very nice as well as his wife I remember saying I want to be like him when I grow up.to make a long story short he was a very nice man God bless him and family

Barry and his family were always intertwined with ours. Our parents were very good friends who partied together for many years as well as his Aunt Rosalie. My brother Eck and he were two of the best dressed guys in Hayti. Barry was always smiling showing his pretty teeth. I got a 1969 powdered blue Riviera in 1972 and he liked it so well he purchased one that was mauve and white.I know my brother welcomed him into heaven. Praying for the family at this difficult time. Rest in heaven Barry. James and Johnnie Williams and Family

Just 45 minutes ago l heard of the passing of Barry and I am truly saddened. He was always smiling showing that gold teeth smile.
