Remembering Bobby Barry
By
  Troy Jessee
Roy Robert “Bobby” Barry, beloved husband, father, son, brother and friend, passed on to his Heavenly Home on July 10, 2008 and will be deeply missed by the many that loved him. He touched countless lives with his ability to live life to the fullest. He leaves behind his precious wife, Erika Barry, and daughters Taylor, Kristina, Sarah, and Hannah; parents Roy and Elizabeth Barry; father and mother in-law Peter and Marilyn Lane; sisters Amy Wright, Stacy Garrett, and Becca Graham; brothers-in-law Michael Garrett, Clint Graham, and Paul Wright; nieces Kortni and Natalie Wright; nephews Levi and Owen Garrett, Cody and Wes Graham; numerous cousins, aunts and uncles, and close friends.

The last several months for Bobby were some of the best of his life. He recently married Erika, who was the love of his life, and had just returned from an extended honeymoon to the Mediterranean and the Florida Keys . Both enjoyed countless hours working with their horses that were near and dear to them. But most of all, it was the love they shared together.

Bobby carried on the long family tradition of professional polo as a highly respected player and umpire. He was known for his skill, passionate play, and enthusiasm for the sport. His talents allowed him to play around the world in many different countries and with many dignitaries and professionals.

It can easily be said that Bobby fit more into his short life than most do in an entire lifetime. His loves were spending time with his family, trips to the coast, fishing, hunting, playing games in the backyard, laughing, and making sure that all around were having fun. With an effervescent smile that infected all those around him, it was impossible to not share in his joy.

We will miss his distinctive laugh, his zest for life, and his love for family. There will be a hole in our hearts without Bobby and he will be dearly missed.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to the Polo Players Support Group, Inc., that will establish the Bob by Barry Endowment Fund, 11924 Forest Hill Boulevard, Suite 22-287, Wellington, FL 33414 .
