Hi Harry,
I wish your time here had been longer. I wish I had made better use of the time we did have together. Seems like it all passed too quickly. Thank you for everything. You are an inspiration.

Hey Bear
Time sure flies, just can’t believe it’s been 2 years now. Miss your Joy, Smile miss you
Uncle Mark

Can’t believe it has already been 2 years. Barry, you are missed more than ever!... Wish I could be with you in Vegas right now. I could sure use a little of that carefree fun that you provided…

Happy Birthday Bear!
We miss you. Thanks for watching over us.

Hi Harry,
Happy Birthday! I can't believe that another birthday for you is here. The time just goes by. My wish for you is that the past couple of years have been fun for you, Uncle Richard and Auntie Hana. Please take care of my mom too.
I miss you all.
Love to all of you.

Bear Bear
Have another Happy Birthday today, just seems like the time flys by
We know you laughing and have that smile. Taku care thinking of you
JoAnn & Mark

Happy Birthday, Bear... I was in Vegas recently and tried to channel your BlackJackDude Good Luck.. but if anything, I channeled The Good Times we always shared..Miss Ya!

Happy Birthday UB! I miss you.

Too often in life time slips past and we never get to express thanks for the help and good deeds from our friends and loved ones. While I am appreciative of all of you I wanted to express my love and appreciation for one in particular.
Bruce has tirelessly given to us over many, many years. He has always been cheerful while doing so. All of the support he has given to Barry is remarkable. He has always been there to help without asking. I know Barry very much appreciated Bruce, which goes without saying.
In addition, he was right there to help Auntie when she was going through that rough spot. Even though Auntie didn’t understand what was happening Bruce was doing whatever it took to keep Toshi safe. She really needed help and Bruce protected her.
This is something I have been thinking about recently. I have been thinking a lot about Barry lately. I really miss him. It was so easy just to call him up for advice. I wish it was that easy to hear from him now. Although Barry knew how much I loved and cared for him I wish I had said it more.

Hi Harry,
Happy New Year! I know you are taking good care of all of the Grandparents, Aunties and Uncles. I know you are watching over us here too. Thank you for all that you did for me and my family. I miss you.
Love,
Gene

Give a HUG to Auntie Hana for me...Rest in Peace My Friend <3

Hi Harry,
I can't believe a year has passed. I miss our talks and your counsel and humor. I know now that it was your time but I wasn't ready. I don't know if I'm ready still.
There must be an afterlife where we will all gather and share our love. I hope so. Otherwise it would be too cruel.
I love you Harry. Thank you for all of your wisdom.

BEAR.....  Always so honest...  never pulling punches...  We talked about you this morning...  talked about all the fun times... and we know you were listening so we kept it clean and ...very honest!!!  Happy Happy BIRFDAY...... Dude!!!!  It is still hard to accept that you have moved on...  yes... difficult for us... but good for you.  Yes..

Mark

I miss you Bear. You will always be an inspiration to me.

Happy Birthday Bear! It saddens me that we are not celebrating your Birthday with you. But we all know that you are celebrating today with so many loved ones! Enjoy your big day.

Happy Birthday to my favorite cousin and best friend. I miss you everyday. I know that you are a greater person for the difficult life you lead.
My birthday wish for you is that you enjoy eating eel rolls and rainbow rolls for your 56th birthday! Maybe a fuzzy navel to go with that. Or maybe prime rib with fried mushrooms with a shot of Crown Royal. Or maybe fresh corn with iced tea. Your choice.
Our cousin Dennis maybe doesn't get everything right but he sure did when it came to you: "You are the best of us". Happy Birthday Barry!

BEAR.....  I know you can hear and SEA me....  soon...flying to the land of SALT LAKE and JAZZ....  I know you can appreciate how good the Warriors are this year and last.....    but....  I still find it hard to know that you have moved on to a better world.... and I know that you are watching over us... always concerned about us...  so... I'll be there next week...  I'll take donuts to Auntie Toshi...  Krispy Kreme because I know you loved them...  so.....  we will do our best to take care....   your BEAR is right next to my PC...  so I think of you every day....  and I try to be good....  but you know me!!!!  ok Dude..... later then ....  Big D

With all of the Holiday Greetings and Wishes going around, our Orange County cousin Cheri sent one saying that she missed all of the "Holly Jolly" emails Bear would be sending around at this time of the year. That email brought a tear to my eye. She is absolutely right: Bear would have been spreading holiday cheer now and, like so many other things Bear did for me, I miss that. I'm sure he got down at times, like we all do, but I never saw it. He was always up. He was always looking at the "glass half full". Whenever I was down I could talk to him for a bit and I would feel better. Or I would read one of those "Holly Jolly emails and feel better. He just brought out the best in me. I really miss that. Merry Christmas Bear. I miss you.

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.
References for Philippians 2:3 Barry you always put others before yourself. I am blessed to have had you in my life. Your such an amazing person.

Barry,
   I grew up with Barry and Bruce. We became friends that lasted thru our childhood and adulthood. 
  Barry may of had physical limits, but they never would stop him from any thing he wanted to do. He would find a way to the them. The 3 of us were always doing things together in the summers. Bruce and I would play basketball for hours and Barry was there keeping score.
  The 3 of us went on many fishing trips, and I remember he always would catch the most fish.
  In the summers you could find us in their camper playing cards, 21 of course. I like to say Bruce and I gave him his love of playing 21 cause he would always win our quarters!
  One story I'd like to tell:
   at the time I am going to Weber State, a struggling man trying to provide for my family and getting my education. Barry and Bruce and I had gone to many Jazz games. One year Barry was talking about getting season tickets to the Jazz, I said that would be fun for you.
We comes over one day and shows me the tickets he had gotten.
Then he says they are mine. I told him that there is no way I can pay for them. He knew that, and wanted me to go with them.
As luck would have it, it was the year the Jazz went to the NBA finals against Chicago. I look back at the times we had that year, we had so much fun. It is one of the highlights of my life, and it was due to
a kind big hearted friend.  
  Barry was that, he was always trying helping others. There wasn't any one who didn't like Barry after meeting him. He was a loving person.
  
  There is a hole in my heart that that will never be replaced, Im going to miss our Thursday night calls, you helping me in the summers with my yard,
  Years ago Barry and Bruce introduced me to some family as
 their "Half Brother", That had a big impact on me, they considered me as theirs. Bruce and Barry were always together there was a strong bond there and great love between them, and to be considered as one
with them is the greatest compliment I have ever had.
  We were truly "Brothers"
        I love you and will miss you deeply
         Till we meet again Brother
               Dar

Barry, I was 5 years old when we started kinderdergard together and you came into my life, I was too young back then to realize that your were going too be a life long friend. We have had many adventures together. Thanks for your patients, kindness and love and treating Rachel and Trevor like your own. I miss you more each and everyday! you will always be in my heart and memories . Take care dear friend! Leona

Bear... I was just reminiscing over the family photos, which started at birth. I'm so glad most of our vacations were spent at Odowland. I still laugh at all the mischief we use to get into as children... okay okay...maybe it never ended for me ; )  Although a few of our gatherings over the past few years were due to the loss of loved ones, if there was a bright side too it, it's because it brought us together again. I'm sure your mom, dad, my dad, uncle Eddie, auntie Akie and other beloved family & friends were smiling from above as we shared good times and memories. Although my heart is broken you are not here to listen and LAUGH at all my crazy stories, It comforts me to know you are sharing your laughter, thoughtfulness, kindness, etc. with all our beloved angels above. I miss your emails and OMG comments to my Facebook posts, but the memories are forever... Rest in Peace BlackJack Dude ooooxxxx

Barry, thank you for sharing your gifts and talents with us. You brought much joy to everyone. Now you've been called home and we must be strong and carry on. God Bless You!

Barry the world was brightened by your shining light, there were many days where just the thought of you made me believe the world was a better place.

You will be missed my friend.

Go Jazz !!!!

"Barry, sending you Love, Peace and Prayers. Rest in Peace My Friend"

You will be missed my friend.

Again I am having to say goodbye to someone very special… It goes without saying Barry was a great person! Every time I was around him he always brought a fun and positive atmosphere to the group. Barry made things feel lighthearted and fun. If I was ever going through a hard chapter in life Barry was the perfect person to be around because his personality and character put me at ease and made me feel that life is just fine and it’s going to be a good day just to be in Barry’s presence. I was blessed to know Barry for many years and have the opportunity to be around him as much as I was. He was a guy I can completely be myself with and let my hair down and just relax and enjoy. It does not get any better than that…

I consider myself extremely honored and privileged to be able to call Barry my friend and family. He was smart, kind, quick-witted, dependable and had an incredible memory like no one else. But the attribute that I will most remember Barry was his generosity. He always wanted to pay for everything, especially every meal that we would enjoy together. Barry would shower me and my family with gifts constantly. Barry and I had 3 things in common. We loved sports, gambling and eating. I’ve have had my greatest laughs with Barry. My endless list of wonderful memories with Barry will be cherished forever! I love you Bear and will miss you so much!!

Bear was a great person, very smart, very caring and had a great sense of humor. I didn't see him much but we emailed each other weekly for several years. I'll miss him a lot.

I will miss Barry very much we live many miles away from each other but I think of him every day . Barry was very inspiring for me with his positive attitude and special sense of humor . Bear was my sports betting partner and I will never forget how excited we both got when we picked the right teams . Barry and I were able to go to several Jazz games together and I will never forget the fun and excitement we both experienced . Bears thoughtfulness and generosity was a true Odow tradition . Yo Bear you are a once in a lifetime friend !!!

I have so many memories of Barry. I grew up 3 house up from him in Roy. My older sister Christy and Barry spent many days together from there I learned fast that Barry was family. We wouldn't allow other kids to look at him differently, get on his bike or treat him unfairly. He also did the same for us. He was our protector as we were his. He was our babysitter when our parents were at work. We made lots of cookies and played with his dog Silver, that he loved so much. We would play games and go for long walks talking about life, laughing about old memories. He was our brother. He would come up and watch my dad do yard work both of them with their shirts off. My mom would take Barry with us for Friday night pizza. I remember Barry giving my mom a hard time about her driving one night she made someone mad so that person followed us. Barry in the front yelling and laughing so hard with a little fear in him also. When my parents got divorced Barry became our landscaper. Him and my mom came up with a design and Barry took over our yard. He was talented and a hard worker. He took pride in everything he did and it showed. Not just in yard work but how he treated others. After we moved we didn't see much of Barry we talked on the phone or sent emails. My mother Nancy passed away April 2014 him and Bruce came to the service. I saw Barry come in and went directly over to him we hugged and cried for some time. For I knew he loved my mother. He was family. Much love to you Bruce, how lucky Barry was he had you and you had him. I love the Odow's, Dick, Hannah, Bruce and Barry. Thank you for all the memories.
Love, Amy Call Tribe
