What terrible news!
Barry was a very dear friend who I knew from the time just before he was diagnosed with MS.   As a fellow sufferer I related directly with what he and Sue went through during those days. Sadly Barry's condition progressed far quicker than my own. His efforts to raise money and hold folk events for his local MS Society were inspirational.
Thanks to him several of us had the pleasure and priviledge to sing aboard the Waverly, the last sea going paddle steamer. So many memories!
A Good man gone!

With deep regret,

Bob H
