I had a great regard for Barry, both within the community, and especially the involvement we had with the Hokitika Cycling Club.
Many a Tuesday ride with Barry keeping an eye on all of us in the packs, ensuring nobody taking it easy, then sprinting out from about the Motor Camp corner !
He made his views on this known.
A great guy, and it was sad to hear of his passing.
We are so sorry of hear of Barry’s passing. Our deepest sympathy to Judy, Anthony, Gene and families. We remember Barry telling us he kept an eye out for our young daughter in her first job, when she had to open up by herself in the early hours of the morning along behind the glass studio, and that he was always there if she needed help. It gave us and her peace of mind. RIP Barry.
