From Justine Donovan (copied from FaceBook)

To all of Barry's good friends - Barry passed away peacefully yesterday morning at the Elliot Hospital in Manchester. He had attended the Press Room session on Friday night and felt very tired afterwards. Over the next few days he experienced what everyone thought were signs of a stomach bug. On Wednesday morning my daughter drove him to the hospital and we were all shocked to learn he had suffered a heart attack earlier in the week. He was being kept in the hospital for further testing when he died.

The nurses reported that Barry had asked for ice chips at about 6:15 and that moments after his heart simply slowed to a stop. They were not able to revive him and we believe that it was swift and painless. I hope this fact brings some comfort to you, as it did to our family. Marty's post above is accurate, and if you refer to it you can find the details for the services. You are welcome to our home after the funeral services on Monday. Your posts are appreciated and welcomed. Barry and I were married twenty three years and have two amazing children; Natalie, 22 and Gabriel, 20. We will miss him for the rest of our lives and reach out to you to help us keep his memory alive.
