Eliothei 47 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 @compwaco I am sorry to hear about your similarities in health. But that is one of the things I love about him. His compassion and understanding towards others and his positive attitude. He is selfless and inspirational to many people. He is a medical miracle and three times now, I've thought it was the end and then he popped back up like a meerkat. So keep that in mind. Be like Barry. Be the meerkat. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eliothei 47 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 If any of you have questions or wish to send him anything, I'll be glad to deliver. My number is nine zero one, five five eight, zero eight zero nine. Text me first to let me know you're not a stranger so I don't just straight up reject your call, lol. I will give updates as I can (I often forget I can access this site via my phone). I have a ton of his equipment I am looking to sell, too, to pay for his hospice rent. I will be posting that stuff today or tomorrow. My dad has often said this was the most generous and understanding community he's ever been a part of. I am thankful for each and every one of you. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewJohn 6,565 Posted May 19 Author Share Posted May 19 (edited) Thank you, Melissa. It has been great to talk to you and see how you are supporting your Dad in these final days. You have my number, please call if you need to. Let me know how I can help you with all that you shared. Barry loved his grandson, too, sharing pictures here several times. Barry had clarity, the best attitude and understanding and it showed. He rose way above the fray, static, and noise here on the surface of this Earth. A true survivor who we'll see on the other side. Thanks again for sharing on this thread. No reason you can't stop in and say hello from time to time. AJ Edited May 19 by AndrewJohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ar9Jim 4,061 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 (edited) Thank you for the update. Sorry for your families loss Melissa. There is no doubt Barry is in a good place. Very high quality of consciousness. Dying after trauma when younger, gave Barry so much enlightenment, he probably has a new meat suit already. Enjoy Barry! Hope to cross your path again buddy.

BobTFM35 633 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Melissa, and family; I didn’t have the pleasure of knowing Barry personally, only from reading his posts on this site. From them you knew he was a Special Person. During his trying times early this year he somehow found the time to welcome a new member or just respond to a random posting. I think one in particular will somewhat shed some light on who Barry is: “Welcome to the site! Kick your shoes off, grab your favorite beverages. Crank some tunes, wake the neighbors. Most if all have fun. lots of great info on these forums, some of us have been here a long time! please ask if you have questions. We love to see photos, so as your post count goes up you will be able to post a few! Enjoy the site and welcome home! Barry” His closing last three words in the above “and welcome home!” presents a great image of Barry. That was back in Feb of this year. Wishing you Peace and Comfort during this unimaginable time. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveFord 1,058 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 My condolences, I only met him once but he was a very likeable man.
