[Wayne Potgieter]

I hope one day Bs boys and mom can come read this thread and hopefully find comfort in how much their father/son meant.

RIP, Barry.

 

I'd only met you a couple of times, but I'll remember:

 

I'll remember the magenta boa

 

I'll remember the mine dump rides

 

I'll remember your love of animals, and Lego and the pride you had in your kids.

 

I'll remember the respect you had for your ex-wife after the divorce.

 

I'll remember every time you got knocked down, you just stood up again.

 

I'll remember that very special Barry humour, equal parts dry, sardonic and sharp.

 

Go well.......

This deeply saddens me. I have been nervous every time I have opened this thread but at the same time hopeful for good news.

 

RIP Barry, this forum wont be the same without you.

I'm heartbroken. Barry once posted that I was one of his most favourite peeps in the world. Well he was one of my mine. I can't begin to describe how much I am going to miss him and how much I'm missing him already.

 

He was always willing to lend an ear, he usually saw things from a different perspective (in a good way), and he always put a smile on my face.

 

To Breandan and Conor, you two meant the world to your dad. You were always on his mind no matter where he was or what he was doing. The last time I saw your dad we had a long chat about you two and he told me how proud he was of the amazing young men you've both become. (If you guys do get to read this and are wondering who I am, you know me as Santa Cruz Mandy.)

 

To Kevin, Kelly, and family, my sincerest condolences.

Rest in Peace my friend. We shared so much in common and I always enjoyed your thoughtful and impartial responses to discussion. Holy Tumbles WAS the hub and sadly this place will not be the same without him and we will time and time be reminded about him when we old posts come up as they always do...and we laugh and smile because that is who he was. 

 

Peace and love to your and your family

Well put.  (Difficult to accept he is gone.)

Cheers Barry. I am so numb I can hardly believe it. We are going to miss you. You were a special guy and this place will not be the same without you.

 

Rest easy Bud.
