LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Barry was born in Oklahoma. At 17 he joined the Navy and while stationed in San Francisco, he met his wife, Virginia and they married in 1961.

Barry worked as a salesman for most of his life in the Bay Area and was a wiz at cards and numbers.

Barry and Virginia retired to Lakeport and enjoyed boating on the lake and running their farm. He belonged to the Lakeport Elks Lodge and enjoyed camping with the Rambling RVers, playing pool, pinochle and poker. No matter how bad his memory was getting he was still winning for the most part.

Barry was a successful, smart and inspiring man and will be greatly missed by so many.

Survived by his brother, Don; sisters, Linda and Sheralyn; daughter, Denise; son, David (Carrie); grandchildren, Jessica (Brandon), David, Patrick, Jesse, Serena and Bella; and great-grandchildren, Clarity and James.

He is predeceased by his parents, J.L. and Lavetta, and his beloved wife, Virginia.

Celebration of life will be held at the Lakeport Elks Lodge on Sunday, Feb. 16, at noon.

Arrangements by Chapel of the Lakes Mortuary, 707-263-0357 or 707-994-5611, or visit www.chapelofthelakes.com.
