He sat on a variety of community boards in the Newtown and Northampton communities that supported and fundraised for individuals and groups.
Barry was a gifted athlete and a Philadelphia sports fanatic. If he was not coaching or watching one of his kids' sports, you would find him playing golf at Spring Mill where he was a member for over 35 years. On the weekends, he had always had a match with his favorite foursome "the Dawn Patrol" who would tee off as early as possible no matter the weather.
Constantly present in his children's lives he coached their various sports teams and also sat on the board of the Northampton Athletic Association to make things better for all the children who played. He was also active with the Council Rock Boosters who worked to get the lights on the high school stadium field. His dedication and selfless support for the surrounding communities will always be everlasting.
