Handle id #8069 : Derbyshire Ram
I'm sorry to have to tell you all that Derbyshire Ram (Barry), former member of groups like Dominators, Illusion and Avantgarde passed away peacefully at his home early on Sunday morning, 27th of May.
He has been so brave and fought cancer with every bit of effort he could find for four years. Right up until the Saturday evening prior was he sitting in his chair with all his children around him.
Rest in peace old friend. |

It was always enjoyable chatting with Barry on the phone, he was one of the few sceners I really liked and now regret never meeting him in person.

I didn't have any contact to Bary for about 15 years. But I remember him as a very fine, gentle and friendly person.
Rest in Peace Barry.

Really sad news. I was lucky enough to meet him once and he was a really nice bloke with lots of interesting scene stories to tell. Best wishes to Anne and the rest of his family at this time. |

Sad news indeed I always enjoyed his nice letters and his great sendings. Barry was always happy to include that extra disks with a few requsted games. Talking to him on the phone was always a good time and I loved to hear his stories about his fascination with trains.
RIP Barry, I will miss you greatly my friend. |
