Barrys favorite poem was this Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the mornings hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft starlight at night. Do not stand by my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die. an Indian Hopi prayer given to him by a Native American friend. Family and friends remember his kindness and sense of humor and contagious laugh. He was an example of how we should treat others.
