sole graduate students involved in multi-institutional research
project. Working from different parts of the country, we communicated
by phone and e-mail most of the time I'd known him. Whenever we met in
person, however, it was like seeing an old friend.
Barry, your patient and gentle manner came through whether you were
coaching me in table tennis or working on code. Your joie de vivre
ensured that we would enjoy ourselves -- and eat good food -- in spite
of tight timelines and long lists of things to do.
I was certain that Barry would go on to become one of the most
successful people I knew. There's no way so bright and enthusiastic a
person could not affect the lives of all who had a chance to meet him.
In Barry's case, those so affected span the globe.
Barry, I'm going to miss you. Please remember that your time here made
an important difference, and that we are all lucky to know you.
