Barry strongly believed in God and his Son, Jesus Christ. He would often speak of his religious beliefs over a pipe or cigar with his brothers.

He practiced and shared his faith on the streets with his fellow man treating those less fortunate to gifts, meals and surprises. Barry is known for his huge generous heart.
