Show Eastern Hills Christian Church in Centennial. Barry was dedicated to his family, always there to offer a helping hand, to give good advice, or just to listen, he also helped raise his grandson, Collin. When his son Ryan became a single father, his work schedule made it all but impossible for him to tend to his two children’s daily needs, Barry stepped right up driving to Centennial every other Friday, spending the entire week there so that the grand kids were taken care of. He did the cooking, cleaning and got the kids to and from school. He helped them with their homework, and made sure they got to their baseball, basketball or soccer practices. He never missed any of their games. He cherished every chance to teach them the game of golf. Barry had a very special love for his “gran’s” and they for him.
