I wanted to pass along my deepest condolences on the loss of your brother Jamie. He was one great neighbor and a good friend. I know Jamie had the cleanest car on the block probably in all of North Haven. You would always find him washing a car in the driveway no matter the weather. He would always take the time to stop and talk. Even when I come back home, I still always look for Jamie to see if he may be out these washing a car even though he moved years ago. Old habits are hard to break. He will truly be missed. I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

This week thinking of Jamie remembering the the things we did at the “Club”, the hikes he and Danny Sullivan took us on into the woods, and got us lost every time, but we kept going, the time I cut my foot open in the pond, I think he was the one to get me out of the water. The memories we had as children are keepers. Sending love and hugs to the whole Barry family ❤️
I’m so very sorry for your loss. Jamie was my classmate and we were also friends. May his soul rest in peace. He was a funny kid. I never know him as an adult
Pam, Tommy and Lisa I’m so very sorry and sad to hear of Jamie’s passing. Lots of memories, some good some crazy but all close to my heart. He always had a smile for me and always asked about my whole family. I know Michael will miss his friendship and racing buddy. I live in Florida so won’t be able to make the services but know I’m there in my heart. If you need to talk, call. My number is 203-676-5144. My thoughts and prayers are with you guys…and just give a smile for the old neighborhood!..
