My abiding memory of Barry would be of his last trip home; a family gathering in Gwen's house. Barry was 'holding court', sitting in an armchair his nieces and nephews all around the chair, some at his feet, others on the arms of the chair and 'the lads' leaning over the back of the chair, everyone hanging on every word. That moment for me defines Barry; you can't separate the man from the stories and the laughs: he just made people smile. Despite no longer being with us Barry will continue to put a smile on our faces when we think of him which is a lovely legacy to leave. Rest in Peace Uncle [and Godfather] Barry.
