There are no words that will comfort the Ginyard family at this time. I know that he's with God and free of any pain or disease he might have endured. However, I also know how much his family will miss him. Barry and I attended Stamford High School and graduated in 1967 and were voted Friendliest in the class superlatives. Barry was the epitome of friendly and I was honored to share this distinction with him. Every single person at SHS knew him, and he always had a kind word for everyone. His velvet voice was admired by students and staff alike, and when he sang the theme from Exodus, there wasn't a dry eye anywhere. He sang and lived with passion, and while I will miss him, I treasure the memories from long ago.
My name is W. Bruce Monroe and my fondest memory of Barry is when we met in first grade at Rice school in Stamford, CT. We then hooked up again in Cloonan Junior High. He was my campaign manager when I ran for VP of the student council; I won because of him. In high school I went to Rippowam and he to Stamford. We hooked up again by participating in Sing Out Stamford. Barry was a great musical talent both singing and playing guitar. Because of Facebook we managed to reconnect a couple of years ago. Unfortunately I never got to Kentucky before his passing. He will be truly missed by family and friends.
