Barry, your smile will never be forgotten. It’s been a pleasure being your friend. You’ve taken care of all of us. You certainly will be missed. Hugs to u my friend..Michael and helene nast
So sad to hear of Barry’s passing, he was my taxi home for many months when I first moved to Bay City. He always talked about his children and then found out I worked with his ex wife too. A true gentleman, always came in to Walmart and whenever he saw me would stop to say hello. Rest in peace.
Berry still have great memories hunting with your dad me, jim,and the whole clan. You will be missed. Terry Shawl
I’m sorry for your loss. Barry and I drove the overnight shift for Midland Taxi, and Aero Transportation. We used to sit and drink coffee st Little Chef in between runs. He was a great guy.
Barry was such a loyal cabbie! Sometimes he waited extra time at the bars so his passenger could finish a drink or conversation. Seemed very compassionate and was willing to go the extra mile, if you will. Bay City has lost a true Angel! RIP Barry! Godspeed…
Barry was not only a good cousin but also a good friend . Barry I will miss you . I do not know any one who did not like you . You where one of the good guy’s .

Barry was an AWESOME CAB DRIVER… It’s been a real pleasure to have known Barry for quite sometime. Thank-You for all the times you’ve been there for us. Until we meet again my Friend. R.I.P. Barry Tommy Lee and Karen
Love, The Aegis Family purchased the Simply Elegant Spathiphyllum for the family of Barry Eugene Campbell.
I met Barry as a favor to my cousin and instant memories were made. He always had a kind word to say and a big hug to give. He will live on through his children everyday. He and Cheryl raised 3 wonderfully strong young adults who I have been blessed to meet and hopefully now call friends. May Barry rest in the arms of God’s Angels until we all meet again
