Dear Ann, Barry and Billy,
We have the fondest childhood memories of our visits to Ridgefield Park and staying in your home with all of you and your parents. We always looked forward to your visits when your dad brought your family to Massachusetts. Your dad never forget to inform our family about all the accomplishments and milestones of his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Your dad was the number 4 of the 8 Barry cousins, like our dad (number 6)he was very proud to be a "Barry Cousin". He was the glue that held your family and ours together. He is leaving a profound legacy behind through his children, grands and great grands. Our love and support is with you in your time of grief.
