I can imagine how sad it is for Tasha en Nikki to loose their father. In my memory he will remain as a very nice man who loved company, he was really a family man.
And I remember the few times we visit America at first with my husband Fred and later with my daughter Xandra, he always took us to the Japanese, he was really enjoying himself and so were we.
We shall miss him too.

Oh my goodness what a shock. I am forever grateful to Barry for many reasons but most importantly, my husband.
Barry and I worked together at Thiele Engineering in Edina. We were great friends and constant lunch partners with a group of great people. What a fun place to work. He did have fun stories and absolutely exhibited his math skills all the time.
When Barry heard about a guy who was single, and knew I was single too, he decided to arrange an introduction. I remember saying, “Is he at least tall?” Barry explained the guy was 6’4”. I agreed. That was 21 and a half years ago and Bob and I have been together ever since.
I am so sad to hear of his passing. Barry always has a unique way of including people in a conversation whether he agreed with people or not. I will always remember him with great fondness. God bless his family.

I met Barry probably somewhere in november 2006. I just came to live in MN with my wife and I knew Ernst, his son in law. Right from the start we liked each other. I did the odd job for him and had the pleasure of working besides him a few times as well. That always was fun, he had a great sense of humor and he was very knowledgeable; I could learn from him.
I came to know him as a loving dad, a kind man that loved to have people around him. I still remember having parties at his house with the grill on and having great conversations.
Unfortunately the only contact we had since 2008 (when I moved back to Holland) was through internet. On hindsight of course it should have been way more often.
I will miss him and his jokes. This is really a great loss, but I always have some great memories!!
My heart goes out to the ones he left behind.

From the first time i met Barry in the fall of 2017---he had the ability to put you at ease with his words and his sincerity. He was gifted with this talent and everyone knew that you could count on Barry to lend a ear. Truly a treasure, He will be greatly missed. God bless his family.
