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.

This is very sad news indeed. I can still remember the first time Barry called me and asked if I could send him new releases that he'd distribute for us.

We used to get loads of calls like this and I guess I was lucky that on this occassion I agreed to do it, must have been 20 years ago.

Barry was true to his word and spread the new releases far and wide very quickly. It got to the stage that the first thing I'd do when cracking/downloading anything was to send it to Barry and let him do the rest.

RIP Barry, you were a true gentleman.

Peace be upon you Barry,

He was an exceptional chap; he would always encourage me not to quit the scene and never to give up on mankind. You will be in my thoughts.

I only partly remember his address but I will still like to send a condolences card, if this would be ok with his family.

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.

R.I.P. Barry.

Good memories when seeing a release where he participated in.
A great loss indeed :(
