I was - and still am - deeply shocked and saddened to learn of the passing of my old friend, Barry.
We were close school friends for many years through all our time at the CBS Primary and Grammar Schools in Omagh.
Eventually we ended up sharing a room when we attended University College, Dublin in the late 1960s; I can still clearly recall the day Barry's father drove us there for the first time.
I have many happy memories of times spent with Barry that I will cherish forever.
My heart goes out to all his family.
