I knew Fr. Barry when he was associate pastor at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Pikeville--and counted him as a friend. I just thought about him recently and decided to google him and found this obituary. I am so sorry for the loss--to the family, his congregation, and his colleagues in faith. Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known.

I met Barry at this year's meeting of the Thomas Merton Society. He had a wonderful aura about him. He and his family were welcoming and wonderful. I have made a memorial to Arkansas Hospice.
