Thoughts and Memories

It was only within the last year that Barry, Risa Fraizer Brown and I were reunited. Since that time, we shared with Barry what we titled as "Barry's Nite Out". The three of us would go out to dinner once or twice a month (he always picked the place) and we would talk over old times and share memories and laughs. Barry always had a smile for everyone he met in which we also titled "The Parker Grin". It was a special time for Risa and I, and we are grateful that God gave us what little time we had to know him again after 25 years. We will miss him more than words can express. I'm sure Barry is on Heavens Golf Course, teeing off with Steve Reinbach (75'graduate from Southwest)and his older brother Rip. And if he could, I think Barry would tell all of us this... "IT'S BEAUTIFUL HERE, IT'S REAL....LIVE GOOD LIVES AND I'LL SEE YOU WHEN YOU GET HERE. GOTTA GO...TEE OFF TIME!"

It is never good news to hear of a friend's death. My condolences and thoughts go to the friends and family who will find him missing from their lives.
