So sorry for your loss Noah.
Barry will be deeply missed around here, he was a real presence.

Saruman · 11-02-2007 11:38am

Sorry to hear it! My condolences.
I met him once in Liffy Valley. We were doing a trade. I had seen him around a few times since then.
Lovely person.

Greysoul · 11-02-2007 1:14pm

thank you all, I've shown this thread to some of Barry's family and I know they'd want me to say it on their behalf as well, every single word is deeply appreciated, thank you all so much.

11-02-2007 1:35pm

My deepest sympathies to you at this time.
Again I only knew Franknfurter from his posts.He certainly made threads interesting.

RIP.

So very very sorry for your loss. I loved reading Barry's posts, full of wonderful and useful information, I'll miss his passion.

I've borrowed this from the post by jules80 because it's more eloquent than anything I could say.

Life is eternal, and love is immortal,
and death is only a horizon;
and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.
~Rossiter Worthington Raymond

Tar.Aldarion · 11-02-2007 4:25pm

This is the first death on boards that has shocked me. I liked him and his attitude. I particularily remember smiling when I read the last post of his that I saw.
RIP.

littlebug · 11-02-2007 4:36pm

That's such a shock. My thoughts are with you Noah and your families.

RIP

tman · 11-02-2007 7:39pm

I'm so sorry for your loss.
Have never met him in person, but his posts made him come across as a very caring person.

racso1975 · 11-02-2007 9:32pm

Firstly my deepest sympathies go to you an your family. I did not know barry and only ever saw what was posted here. But i could tell he was a very kind man....he talked so passionatly about animal welfare that you could just tell he was a special person. may he rest in peace

Hmm_Messiah · 11-02-2007 10:08pm

I've only ever read his posts - and god knows what mad impression my mind created of the man from his words here (and images of Tim Curry 'cos of the username. )

I was shocked when I saw the news posted elsewhere by damien.m (appreciated)

I don't know if people go to a "better" place, maybe an easier more gentle one- some sure have their battles in this world. but a better place than being with some one you love, and are loved by ? I would hope instead all the people we lose just go to prepare a better place for the re-union, being less physically present in our lives, but never gone away. Continuing to care, to hurt with our hurt, and eventually smile when we return to experience the we normalities of this life.

The net is good at least in so much that It was nice to have the opportunity to have some glimpse of this other person.

I hope the grief never overwhelms the memories, and that the memories remain vital and energised in the times ahead

Boston · 11-02-2007 10:16pm

Jesus that's a shock, I've been reading his posts for years. Condolences to you Noah and his family.

Gordon · 11-02-2007 10:18pm

RIP Franknfurter.

junkyard · 11-02-2007 11:06pm

My sincerest condolences too, RIP Barry.

Hellrazer · 12-02-2007 9:44am

Jesus--Im so sorry to hear this--first time Ive actually logged on all weekend.
My sincerest condolences Noah and to Barrys family.

My thoughts echo most of the posters here,and that is he was a man so passionate about animal welfare that it was a pleasure to mod these forums with him.

He will be sorely missed.

Again Im so sorry for your loss.

Gillie · 12-02-2007 9:54am

MicraBoy · 12-02-2007 11:10am

That's so sad. He definitely left an impression on me in the LGB forum. Lot of respect for the guy.

Condolances to you Noah and his family.

RIP Barry/Franknfurter

morgana · 12-02-2007 12:00pm

I was shocked to hear about Barry's passing on another board, I always enjoyed reading his posts & I can only echo what has been said before, he came across as a very caring & funny person. So sad for your loss, Noah. The world must seem so empty now. My thoughts are with you and Barry's family.

r3nu4l · 12-02-2007 12:06pm

RIP Barry

His good humour was evidenced by his thread about his MRI experience on the LTI forum.

Kolodny · 12-02-2007 12:12pm

I'm very sorry for your loss Noah. Barry came across as a lovely person from his posts here and he'll be missed. Will be thinking of you and his family.

fits · 12-02-2007 1:52pm

So sorry for your loss. RIP Barry

6th · 12-02-2007 10:14pm

I only knew him from his posts on here but he seemed like a good sort, he'll be missed.

Its amazing that when a loss like this comes about you realise just how much of a community we have here.

mikedragon32 · 13-02-2007 9:12am

Like many, I only knew FranknFurter from here, but he was a great poster and a real help to many on boards.

My condolonces go to Noah and all Barry's family and friends.

koneko · 13-02-2007 9:16am

My deepest sympathies to you and his family. I met him a good while back now and he was a really nice guy.

fullerand · 13-02-2007 9:22am

RIP Barry

He provided helpful cat advice to me just last week

Sincere sympathies Noah

golden · 13-02-2007 10:35am

RIP Barry

My deepest sympathies to you Noah and Family. He will be missed.

CtrlSource · 13-02-2007 11:38am

I was actually in the middle of typing a reply to one of his posts in the Accessibility & Mobility & Disability forum when I happened to click the link to blog and read about his sudden passing. Shocking and sad news.

I never met him and had only recently been chatting to him here, but I was aware of his posts for a long time and they were always of interest. He will certainly be missed here.

My sympathies to Noah, his family and friends.

Beruthiel · 13-02-2007 12:12pm

He had a great sense of humour and will be missed.
RIP Franknfurter

The_Conductor · 13-02-2007 12:44pm

I met Barry several times over the last few years, most times buying/selling/bartering computer equipment with him. He was a great guy and had an inspirational outlook on life. My condolences Noah, and to his family and friends.

franksm · 13-02-2007 1:12pm

Ah no... that's awful news. RIP FranknFurter.

You left a great impression, lad, especially for someone I have never met outside of Boards. One of the good guys.

13-02-2007 1:24pm

Very sorry to hear that. My condolences on your loss.

Kojak · 13-02-2007 3:55pm

Sorry to hear of it, Noah.

My condolences.

Dingatron · 13-02-2007 6:35pm

My condolences on your loss. RIP Barry/Franknfurter. He always struck me as a good guy and I enjoyed his posts.

snorlax · 13-02-2007 8:13pm

his input on AMD forum will be sorely missed. rest in peace. Sarah.

Dave! · 14-02-2007 12:13am

My condolences Noah. My thoughts are with you and your family.

R.I.P. Barry

Dudess · 14-02-2007 12:53am

Noah, I'm so sorry about your heartbreaking and awfully sudden loss. I only knew of Barry through his posts here, but, having learned about his experiences, he was a Boards member who stood out in my mind - inspirational isn't the word. I particularly remember one excellent, impassioned post of his on the LGBT forum. And of course, me being a cat lover, well, I was heartened by his love of cats and all other animals.
I really hope you find the strength to keep going during this devastating time. Of course it's not something one can get over fully, but may the pain ease with the passing of time and you'll come to terms with it as best you can.

plonk · 14-02-2007 1:17am

My deepest condolences Noah.

I dealt with barry over the the christmas through adverts and he was a pleasure to deal with.

A tragic loss, RIP.

aare · 14-02-2007 9:51pm

In memory...for both of you:

The clock on the wall
Has just told you
Your hour has come
And you know those that God loves
Die young

But remember
There is never forever
Only the moment
There is never forever
Only the moment

You're thinking too much about
Who will think badly of you
You throw away chances
Let love pass you by

But remember
There is never forever
Only the moment
There is never forever
Only the moment

Don't be afraid
Of the dark of the night
Just reach for your feelings
Let your mood tell you
You're making the right move
The days fade away
And before you can say
I wish I'd made all the right moves
It's too late

With guilt on your shoulder
And fear in your heart
You're bedevilled by angels
Belittled by fools

But remember
There is never forever
Only the moment
There is never forever
Only the moment

KTRIC · 16-02-2007 2:53pm

I just found this out now after reading the introduction thread over on the LTI Forum.

My greatest condolences , Barry/Franknfurter was a great guy and always there with some helpful info on pets etc.

My stomach actually sank when I just found this out.

RIP

patch · 16-02-2007 3:03pm

My deepest sympathies Noah.
I didn't know Barry personally but spoke over the phone a couple of times regarding one of his many gadgets for sale on Boards.
He seemed a lovely guy.
Rest in peace Barry.

custardcreams · 16-02-2007 9:10pm

frankenfurter ... its a bit mental. Woody and myself (im only recently back on) i am pcwares for those who remember ed into this fellow a few times. I never saw him as woody always did the trading.I know he will be shocked. I just texted him. But the olde skool boards like me and woody know boards for what it was and what is could be and frankenfurter was somebody who reached out and recieved. I visited noahs site and i never visit photo art things. The lad gave his personality as positive with meaning

As a raw new plough gouges the earth untravelled. And my brow is heavily furrowed, the spade running deep and thick. Its spring. His spirit sings praise for the chorus, lofting him on high. Numbers. Numbers who were drawn to him. They carefully recoil and unfold upon this board. This board becomes an anvil on which destiny is carved under the nothing which softens, which softens... which softens nothing. Nothing at all.

He will be remembered by pcwares and ..i will leave this he other fella say his piece.. woody.

My deepest sympathies on your sad loss.

Relative newcomer to Boards, and I can't recall being in a discusssion with him, but I did read many of his posts. Sounded like a nice guy.
