I knew Barry as few had. We had spent 25-years together. His life was his kids, his job and his friends.
He never complained when getting a call in the middle of the night, nor dressed to go out with friends and family when seeing a spotlighter, and changing his direction in pursuit. Life was always exciting, not knowing what would happen next.
He loved the squirrel camp, and spending time with those that meant so much to him. Several have passed since. He complained little, and gave a lot. He served his country in the army, backed up his friends, and helped others in the community.
Its been 20-years this May. He has missed his daughter and son getting married and having 5-grand
children. One was even named after him (William Barry Decker). He has big shoes to fill, but he is also a fine young man. I only wish Barry could see them all. The girls are all great. They will never know the man we knew. I would give anything for him to return and be with his grandchildren. They are missing so much in life not having him.
His children only had 18, and 20 years with him. I sometimes wonder about the things they do not even know about their dad. I try and think of what I should be telling them. He was great, kind, thoughtful, loving, sharing, forgiving, but most of all he loved them dearly.
You will be remembered forever.......
