                   REMEMBERING RAYMOND F. BARRY, SR.

                             HON. TIM RYAN

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, October 7, 2013

  Mr. RYAN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the 
remarkable life of Raymond F. ``Rambo'' Barry, Sr., who passed away on 
July 15th, 2013 at the age of 75. He was born on February 7, 1938 to 
the late Marjorie Barry of Altoona, Pennsylvania. Raymond happily spent 
his days traveling, watching his beloved Bengals, keeping up with 
politics, playing cards and engaging in lively conversations with his 
longtime friends.
   Raymond felt an uncanny closeness to his fellow man, serving as a 
vital member of his community and church. He loved to support his 
friends and family, especially in their athletic endeavors. As Raymond 
was the recipient of a lung transplant, we were extremely fortunate 
that he was able to spend five and a half additional years with us. 
Every day, Raymond provided an example of friendliness and warmth, much 
to the benefit to those he met.
   I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to Raymond's family, 
particularly his wife of 24 years, Teri Barry, as well as his sister 
Edna Hoskins, sister-in-law Ruth Reed, children Pamela Lucero, Warren 
Barry, Jerimie J. McKinley, and Jamie McKinley-Taylor, grandchildren 
Brian Hammer, Raymond Barry III, A.J. Hammer, Xzandria McKinley, 
Jonathon McKinley, Kat Taylor and Aleutian Taylor, 6 great-
grandchildren, and numerous other family members and friends.
