Barry is survived by his mother Christine Travis Moore. Married to the love of his life for 41 years Grace Janice Journigan. Brothers Larry Journigan, and Jerry & Linda Moore.

Barry had some of the best friends a man could have ever hoped for. These friends would come anytime they though Barry may need them. Owner of Big Bear Foundation Co Inc. Barry put a lot of pride and hard work into his business. Barry was an avid hunter and loved being outdoors, but above all there was his family. Barry worked so hard to provide for his family and as he got older worked harder when all those sweet grandbabies started arriving. Barry had a true heart belief that Blood did not make Family!! LOVE made Family and he never treated any person different. When Barry was told that he had cancer he started the fight with this saying, "TRAIN ROLL ON" and even at the end he insisted that the "TRAIN ROLL ON!"
