Barry worked at Louis-Allis manufacturing firm for 48 yrs. He was an avid gardener and skilled handy man who could fix almost anything; a dog lover who owned German Shepherds most of his life. After meeting “Jo”, he accepted Jesus as his Savior and it transformed his life. As a committed Pentecostal Christian, he led his family to serve the Lord. Special thanks to JoAnn Olenburg and her extended family for adopting him during his widowhood as “Papa Barry”.
His family rejoice, knowing of the many precious reunions that awaited Barry when he graduated to heaven.
