Condolences

  • I had the privilege of working a lot with Barry in 2022 and 2023 and he was a true gentlemen.
     
    Barry was very calm under pressure and I learnt a lot working with him. In my weekly and sometimes daily catchups with Barry, I learnt a lot of catch phrases, my favourite of which was "fail fast and learn from your mistakes".
     
    Barry was a great encourager and seemed to know everyone in the lunch room at the office and the names of their children.
     
    He has left a huge legacy behind him that will not be forgotten.

  • Dear Scarth Family
     
    Thinking of your family during this difficult time. It was an honour to have worked with Barry for so many years at RME. He will be remembered fondly.  We used to have great banter and had the rare quality together of what I call uncommon sense.
     
    Fantastic man and great work colleague.
     
    Best Wishes

  • The essence of this amazing man can be summed up by how much he loved his family. Barry would be relaying a family story and then when he realised he had loved bombed deeply, he would smash out a joke that would have everyone laughing. 

    Barry will be remembered as a kind and funny man. Condolences to his family.
