Barry is not an academic but has a mechanical brilliance. Could fix anything. If you needed a bannister for a 20 story bank building, Barry and his crew of olde school craftsmen, tough men of limited English but great skill, was your man. He held a highly responsible job for decades while doing maintenance levels of drugs, only to eventually go over the deep end of drug use where holding a job became impossible. All that said, Barry loved my sister Jane and she him. I love them both, and have many positive memories of Barry’s easy laugh and incredible stories from the other side of this life.
Sorry for your loss. I worked with Barry for years at Admiral Construction. He was a real craftsman that took pride in his work. I used to look forward to seeing him when I had to go to the shop. We’d have conversations about life not work. You are a truly a gifted writer and I look forward to your book.
Thank you so much. We will be having a memorial in Boston in June. I'm going to try and look at some of the banks that he did the woodwork in. May I ask, how you found this article?
A friend sent me a link to your book and I was searching for more information about you. We did a lot of work at the old Bank of Bostons but I’m not sure what bank it is now. Please let me know about the memorial.
Thank you, I will. Should be in June. I've talked to Dick Monroe and Gerry Danca if you know them. I'd like it if any of his old coworkers would come. That would be wonderful
A very sad loss. It is not your fault, there is nothing you could have done. It's ok that you are struggling moving forward. Be careful not to fall backward. Take time to grieve and don't make sudden changes.
Jared my prayers and thoughts are with you. For one young man you have been thru a lot. There are no words I have for your pain. I pray you don’t take blame for anything. From reading your words for a while now I know you believe there is only so much we can do for the ones we love. They have to want it. I continue to keep those words in my head regarding my son. I hope you will not stop writing. Your words mean so very much to me. They help me and give me information I need. That prob sounds very selfish on my part but I feel more people need to hear from you. There is so much out there for you to do and to be able to help others. With all my heart I will continue to follow you and pray for you.

That means the world to me, Lida. Thank you
Sorry for this difficult loss.
