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. |

I was in touch with Derby Ram since the Network days and I remember him as being one of the nicest persons on the scene. I remember the first time seeing a picture of him, I was surprised that he wasnt my age but rather a friendly looking grayhaired older guy, and I thought "When I grow old I want to be like Derby Ram!" (: Rest in peace Barry. You will truly be missed. |

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.
