Barry began his career as a machinist, and later as a maintenance supervisor for NVF. A co-worker at NVF introduced him to her sister Mary, who would become his wife of 30+ years. Barry had many hobbies including cooking and grilling. His family loved his delicious breakfasts, potato salad, and stuffing balls. He was skilled with doing home improvements in the home he shared with Mary. He was proud to have achieved a 300-bowling game and of the ring which signified that achievement. Barry enjoyed traveling along the east coast with Mary and the grandchildren, taking family trips to the Smokey Mountains, Disney, and Niagara Falls.
