I express my sympathisch for the loss of a good man. Although we were brothers we lead very different lives, but for the same reason, we did what we needed to do to find our place in life, founded our lives and tried with all our means to make others happy, welcome and loved, we learned early in life how we did not want to be from our experiences. Barry you were loved and will continue to be loved. Your Brother Sonny with wife Elisabeth.
