My condolences too Trevor.
We knew the day was coming but it is always a shock when it does.

So sorry Trevor to hear of your loss.
I always enjoyed reading Barry's stories on IIS over the years,
always told in Barry's unique style and dry sense of humour.
He lived a full and interesting life by the sound of it.
RIP Barry.

This is so sad.
The first time I met Barry he found out that I was in the Navy (At the time). Immediately he leapt into a string of stories of days past. The man had so many experiences, hours worth! I will miss he's cameos at star parties and the like, after that first conversation he always greeted me with such warmth. I will miss the guy.

Only met Barry once, at SPSP 2010, but he made me feel so welcome at "the house" - helping out with power, etc. What a great character, and a great guy who obviously loved his Astro.
Rest in peace mate.

I'm saddened by the news.
I had no idea he was poorly, so it's more of a shock to hear.
I shall miss his posts.
