I’m so sorry here about this
Barry was a good friend for many years
I’m very sorry for your loss
Rob and family
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. I met up with him last year on one of his trips into the Hat. Your dad was an amazing singer and I loved listening to his deep tones. He will be missed by many of us who knew him. Sending you loads of love, hugs and prayers!
