I had met Barry just the once in person, but have been on multiple online calls with him. We once had a long chat where I was asking and he was telling me about his career and how he had done some work programming for satellites in space! I found this fascinating. He inspired …

Very sad to hear about Barry’s passing. I remember being at the office the first time and Barry showing us new parts of TermTime in such an enthusiastic manner (‘look at this, this is amazing!’) and that is exactly how I will remember him: enthusiastic and passionate and always willing to share his thoughts …
