Barry and Evan were at my very first birthday party and Barry was there for every part and party in my childhood. He was so mischeivous and would enlist Stevie Rosenfeld into his antics whenever possible. If Evan and Howard Moskowitz would tolerate him, he would get into trouble with them as well.
When Mr. Angert held a piano recital for his students at the Oak Lane Review Club, Barry performed the Boogie Woogie like it was going out of style.
He, Evan, Howard and Robert Moskowitz were always walking into Rita Weiners kitchen like it was their own.
When Olney Rec Center was first built there was an Arts and Crafts program over the summer. We made hand imprints in sand and clay objects that were kiln fired. The glaze on the little figure Barry created didn't come out as he hope so he switched his name tag with mine. My mother had that figure on her dresser for years, not believing it was Barry's.
Randi Goldis was in Aunt Shirley's dancing school with me when I was just 3. It was thrilling to know they fell in love and got married.
The last time I saw them was at Finletter at our class '68 reunion. Barry was thrilled to see the pictures I have of him on my profile and I hope you'll stop by and pay tribute to him there as well.
Barry and i were next door neighbors, but sometimes you would've thought we were brothers. I remember putting cans together with string and running them out our windows between houses to talk to each other. Of course we never needed the string and cans as we were both so loud....lol We had a code to bang on the walls to get each other. Evan (Barry's brother)shared a room with Barry and thought the two of us were out of our minds. I remember Miss Houstons class and her always reprimanding Barry and i, although she admitted i was the sneakier of the two and she could never catch me red handed. We crashed our bikes into each other and i came home all bloodied and we both wheeled our bikes home in a shopping cart that we took from Food Fair. Who could forget Barry's dog Dolly. Was there anyone in the neighborhood she didn't bite. Barry and i were always fighting or wrestling with each other, he usually won. Then there was that Vega he bought with the money he saved since infancy. Although i hadn't seen him that often there was this bond that always existed. Barry's funeral was standing room only which was a testament to his character and the way he touched everyone in his life. I was extremely saddened at the news of his passing and will miss him. My thoughts and prayers will always be with his wife, children and his family. Rest in peace buddy. You are missed.
I was greatly saddened when I learned of Barry’s passing. Although I had not seen much of him since high school, I always considered him a good friend. My sincerest condolences to Randi and the rest of his family.
I had to smile when I read Robyn Vineberg’s comments. When I think of Barry I always picture him playing the boogie woogie piano.
My name is Debbie Goldstein (Debbie Vaniver's friend) I am not from the neighborhood, but Barry was a good friend of mine. He was always the life of the party if Barry was there you laughed and always had a list of questions to answer. Barry was generous and kind he made you feel like family always. He is blessed with two wonderful children who are both accomplished as well as good looking. Also blessed to have the beautiful Randi Goldis as his loving wife. I will never forget Barry and will keep him alive in my memory forever. My only regret is that I didn't have the youthful memories that you the crowd from 2nd and Cheltenham have.
