So sorry for your loss
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Barry who is a 2nd cousin. He was my dad's cousin Charlie Kauffman. I worked at Hardware in Parkesburg so Barry and I got to talk quite often back then and I loved our talks. He loved his family and talked of them often .
Sending love and prayers-

Baylor Family...I was so sad
Baylor Family...I was so sad to hear of Barry's passing. I had the pleasure of working with Barry for many years at Martin Meylin Middle School. You didn't have to spend much time with Barry to know how much he loved his family. He would do anything to support his friends and all of us at Martin Meylin. His laugh, hard work, dedication, and concern for students was appreciated every day. Barry was a proud Veteran and a great role model for us all. Mike Burcin

Barry Baylor
Barry Baylor’s smile says it all. Every day, he worked happily with everyone on the staff and in the school at Martin Meylin Middle School. You could not ask to work with a more helpful and pleasant person. I am blessed to have known him, and was also honored to teach his two daughters at Octorara High School and knew his son Tim as well. There’s the legacy, Barry - your lovely wife, three wonderful children and their children, and hundreds of students and staff who could count on you every single day to bring a joyful spirit to their lives. Thank you for your sunshine, and thank you for your service to others in all aspects of your life.
