Barry very sadly passed away on the 22nd January 2025 after a short illness. His family cannot find the words ourselves to describe the depth of our loss, and feel this poem speaks volumes about the very special person we loved so much.

The measure of a man is not determined
By his show of outward strength
Or the volume of his voice
Or the thunder of his actions
Or of his intellect or academic abilities

It is seen rather in terms of the love that he has
For his family and for everyone
The strength of his commitments
The genuineness of his friendships
The sincerity of his purpose
The quiet courage of his convictions

The fun, laughter, joy and happiness he gives to his
family and to others
His love of life
His patience and his honesty
And his contentment with what he has

(A Measure of a Man by Grady Poulard).
