I also worked several years with Dr. Barry in labor and delivery and have fond memories of that time and his humor. I know he will be missed greatly.

My condolences and prayers to the entire family. I worked with Dr Barry for many years at St Elizabeth hospital L&D. He was a kind ,loving and caring person with a sense of humor out of this world. Once he was done with his deliveries he would always stop at the nurses station to see if we had any additional patients that come in. When the answer was no, he had the biggest smile and left us with his famous words, "Thanks for a good time." He will truly be missed and he left all of us such great memories to cherish.
