Barry began coaching youth soccer in Kansas when his youngest daughter Sophie began playing as a four year old.   He coached her recreational team to five League championships, in the process working with 26 different girls.

 

In early September 2006 Barry learned he had terminal cancer.   In less than two months he went from appearing in excellent shape to being in constant pain, unable to eat and barely able to walk.   There were days when he could barely move or talk and he was hospitlaized on and off for three weeks in the last month and a half.   For the last two weeks he needed to be carried from the parking lot to the field.   He could only sit at times and barely speak, but he lived for his girls team and the game.  He never asked for sympathy, only that the girls play with purpose and passion for the game he loved. Barry  left his wife his wife Krisiti, son Daniel and daughter, Sophie.
