The news are very sad about Barry.

I just recieved a short line from his wife telling that Barry passed away on 20 of April.

My condoleances to her and the family.

I will keep the friendly image from Barry when we met in Manchester end of last year.

Enjoy life everybody, because it is too short...

Very sad again I never met him.

 

If the club is doing flowers, could we all not put some money in towards flowers.

I will pay some money in...

 

Thank you for the offer Terry and I have had other offers of money for flowers but let the club pay for them as its your money that's in the club funds and the flowers will be from all members of 300zx.co.uk

Extreamly sad news I used to see Barry from time to time near where I used to work and stop and have a chat. Gutted, RIP mate

Very sad news.

Gutted to see this. Sad time indeed.

 

I'm glad the club is sending flowers. If they weren't I would have also put in.

 

Sincere condolences to the family.

RIP Barry.

We know very little on how Barry passed away hopefully in the coming days we will here more Jimmer.

Again I didn't know Barry but wow what a Zed he built there! RIP mate

Such sad news, RIP barry. :-(

Didn't know Barry or ever met him but hearing that someone has passed away is always saddening.

 

Thoughts are with his family and friends

 

RIP :sad:

A light from our family is gone

A voice we loved is stilled

A place is vacant in the home

Which never can be filled

 

We have to mourn the lost of one

We would've loved to keep

But God who surely loved him best

Has finally made him sleep

After a lifetime of his love and joy

And a voice to fill our ears

God leaves us with these wondorous memories

To help us with these tears

 

just something from online which i thought was relevant, never met him but such sad news, RIP and thoughts are with your family!!

Didn't really know him myself either but always seemed a really nice guy on the forums and such.

 

Sad news, RIP

Sad news RIP Barry, thoughts to his family and friends

Just some information I know since I started discussions about the sale of his beautifull Z...

 

There was chimiotherapy occuring at intervals from September last year. I never asked more than how he was when we had exchanges by mail, and he said that it was hard time but showing good results.

When my decison was taken to buy his car mid October, he said that as the therapy was showing good results, and he had to have an operation in the hospital to clear the issue. I postponed my visit in Manchester until he was back from his operation.

 

I flew to Manchester on December 14 with Catherine, my wife, and Barry was waiting for us at the airport with his wife Katia.

We had immediately a friendly atmosphere, and we drove to his home. The wifes were having a chat together as I was having the first view on his Z... with every detail meeting the expectations. After a nice cup of coffe, it was pouring rain, but Barry took me first for a drive around, then stopped the car, and said "your turn"! Quite a discovery... but what a car! I was amazed how the traction was efficient even on the flooded streets... Back to his home, we went through all papers and details, and the deal was done.

 

Then I asked him what were his troubles about with the operation, and he explained me that they had to open from throat to the stomach to get rid of the damage caused by this cancer. You could not tell that he had such a serious operation, and he was just smiling and joking as if all was history...

 

I had a few mails since, and he always answered with the best attention and nice words about Christmas and the Champagne from Reims that he enjoyed with his wife. My last mail a few weeks ago was left without answer... until his wife sent me the terrible news.

The cancer had spread to the lungs and liver.

 

My meeting with him was half a day, but I will always remeber him for sure!

Such a nice chap, enjoying every minute of life, smiling and laughing, but also showing interest with people he was meeting.

I am very much affected with this unexpected issue, and illness can be horribly devastating.

I am sure that he still has an eye from up there, and I will have a thought for him everytime I turn the key to start the engine. My Spa Classic sessions end of May will be dedicated to him.

 

Bye Bye Barry...

That is a nice update thank you and very moving, look after it for him goes without saying :yes:.

Thanks for the update Hubert its a very sad story.

 

Thank you indeed Hubert; it is always sad to hear of a bereavement but for someone of only 41 years old it is always harder to accept. Your words are a touching memory to a forum member and fellow Zedhead.

 

Once again, RIP Barry; you will be missed mate.

 

Richard:sad:

RIP Barry

 

Same as Jimmer, been here as long as I can remember. Just shows how short life can be sometimes
