I am so sorry to learn about Barry’s passing. I didn’t know he had been in the hospital. If I can do anything, please let me.
He has been a good friend for many years. Him and Victor can continue their fishing, crabbing and hunting excursion’s.

Very sorry and saddened when I heard of the passing of Sheridan Barry. He was a good friend and coworker . We worked together on a number of projects at Dupont. I also fished and crabbed with him, many times over the years. Recently we would meet for lunch at various pubs and restaurants. It was always a good time to share old fishing stories and work experiences, and also plan the next outing.
I will miss Barry, and our times together whether on the water or out to lunch.
My condolences to all the family and friends.
May the memories of him sustain you all through this period of loss.

To Barry’s family, I worked with Barry in the main shop at the DuPont Experimental Station for a number of years. I was the young kid back then and was put to task many times. Looking back it made me a better mechanic and person. Nothing mean just good fun. Many of us looked up to Barry and I’m very sorry to see he passed. Barry was ornery in a good way, the good thing is when I read of his passing I had nothing but good thoughts of him. Best to his family, in time some of the hurt will pass and your smiles will return.

Even though we lost touch with Barry over the years, we were saddened to learn of his passing. When we were all “young & foolish” we spent many adventures with Barry, boating, skiing, and many fun dinners with friends. We have many fond memories to cherish. Our sincere sympathy to Rick, Joe and Joyce and family.

Rick Barry
i am lucky to call this man my father. He taught me how to fish, hunt, crab and so many other things that I have shared with my children. I will miss him deeply, but I will smile as I reflect on all the good times that we shared.

I was lucky enough to have Barry as part of my life since I was 15. He stepped up as a “father “ for me many times in the last 30 years whether he wanted to or not. He taught me many things in that time like fishing and fixing a lobster. My heart is broken at this loss.
