aneurysm today. He is a much-loved husband, father, brother, uncle, friend, and teacher. Barry

had a natural ability to connect and engage with others. His easy kindness, humor, gentleness,

compassion, and creative vision will be missed. His passions included a rich, artistic life creating

VT, cooking, exploring nature and being present with friends and family.

Bartlett, Maria and Mary Ann Zawada and nephews Andrew Myers, Paul, Robert and Jet

willing to discover what life could bring. He will be forever and always loved and held in our

hearts. He has forever and always changed each of us .Services will be announced at a later date
