I just tried to call Barry and I'm shocked and saddened to learn of his passing. Barry and I were stationed together at the Navy Nuclear Power School in the late '70s where we attended church together and became fast friends. Barry was a gentle soul and he never had a bad word to say about anyone. He was in my wedding party in '79 and I have fond memories of him and his lovely wife Allison. Barry, rest your oars, we have the watch. Fair winds and following seas, my friend. I know that you are missed by all who knew you. God Bless you and your family.

Sparkling eyes, quick to show an uneven smile and always able to think of things from different angles. Barry was one of the people who I've met in my life that I wanted to be like, but I didn't quite have the type of courage he did. Barry was so open and welcoming to people that they easily found a shared perspective. And that sudden laugh...oh, how wonderful.
I was traveling over the course of the last week and, in reviewing newspapers, learned of his passing.
May all the angels, Saints, holy men and holy women welcome him into God's eternal Grace.
A wonderful fellow in life and rich memories remain for me.
And how many ways could people bollix up Schenkleberg? Oh my! :)
God Bless the memory of Barry Schenkleberg.

We were shocked and saddened to learn of Barry's death. We met Barry when he was part of our Renew group years ago. He was a kind, gentle, thoughtful man. He now rests in peace. May God grant his family strength and peace.

Having just seen Barry last week, we were shocked at his sudden death. Our deepest sympathy to Alison and all the family. Barry was a member of our St. Pius Church Renew Group several years ago, a delightful and friendly man. God bless.

So sorry to hear about Barry. My fond memory of Barry is carrying his new puppy Humbug on their "walks" for the first month or two when he got him. I enjoyed our talks when I would be outside when he walked by. My thoughts and prayers to Alison and family.

Alison and family, I'm so sorry we can't be there to celebrate Barry 's life with you. He will be thoroughly missed. I'll never forget his bright smile and quick wit. I can picture him walking into Scott's with his Kindle and telling me I better get to Curves or I'll miss something important.
Great picture.
Hugs to everyone.
