He was born on March 31, 1920 at the family farm in Kansas City, KS, the son of John and Mary (Mullen) Barry. Mr. Barry was a farmer all his life and in his later years raised sheep. He had a 100 head of sheep and took care of them until he was 90 years old. He loved Easter because he would put all the baby lambs in the pasture by Metcalf so all the little kids could see the baby lambs on their way home from church. He was preceded in death by his parents, his beloved wife Anna Mae (Schwartz) Barry; three sisters, Frances Kuhnen, Ann Haffey and Catherine VanNieuwenhuyse and two brothers, John and Maurice Barry.
