About

On 5th January 2021 our wonderful, loving Dad, husband and friend slipped away with his family by his bedside.

Just 28 days before he tested positive for covid, and despite being a fit and healthy cyclist with an unwavering zest for life, the virus destroyed his lungs. Despite trying everything, the doctors and nurses couldn’t save him, and so we held his hands and stroked his hair, talked to him and played his favourite Barry songs, while he went.

We are broken, and cannot believe our incredible, generous, funny and one-of-a-kind Dad is gone. He was so proud of us, believed we could achieve anything, and would do anything to help us get there.

We would love to hear any and all of your special memories, stories, thoughts or condolences. Each one of them fills us with comfort as we remember what a unique human he was.
