At our most vulnerable moments, but especially when we have suffered a loss, words offering condolences and understanding seem insufficient to bring comfort. Today, I want to offer a memory of chesed and legacy to let the family know of Barry’s immeasurable impact in this short life. I, as was Barry, part of a group of enthusiastic fans whose season ticket seats to the Omaha Royals’ at Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha were in close proximity to each other. We shared more than team stats, meaning that we shared families and became a family. I also remember Barry as “the Voice” at Creighton Prep. On one occasion, I had missed a Royals game due to an illness. Of course, I received love and well wishes from everyone in our Omaha Royals’ group. However, Barry, being at Creighton Prep one evening (which was in close proximity to my house) following the Royals’ game I had missed, went so far as to get me a bowl of Kosher chicken soup to aid in my recovery. It did the trick, as he promised! I recovered quickly. Two days ago, and after all these years, unbeknownst to me of Barry’s passing, I had a memory of that kindness and it brought a smile to face to think that someone had cared so much for me that they would go out of their way to be so kind. This act of kindness truly impacted my life. While I did not know Barry’s children well except when they were babes and he would bring them to Rosenblatt from time to time; but I remember when he shared with the Royal’s group that he was expecting children. He was beyond excited and happy to have you in his life. You were his everything, and I know that with Barry as your dad, you children have a profound legacy of continuous loving chesed to emulate.
