Rick Ferrara wrote a sympathy message

“We are very saddened by the loss of Barry. I know he was a strong man and loved his GTO and the many other toy vehicles that he had owned and enjoyed as well as his custom barn/garage for his fun man stuff. My Dad loved talking with him and admired him. Kathleen and Grant, our family are mourning for your great loss of a great man. Love Dominick and Beverly Ferrara and Rick and Pam Ferrara.”
