Barry Hammerberg

fellow Sailor...a man of many talents...wonderful Husband to Ruth...gracious friend to many.

May God welcome you Barry, into his loving arms & into the beautiful calm & safe seas of Heaven!
As you share "Another Adventure" (Barry & Ruth's beautiful sailboat) with those we all know 
& love up in heaven...we look forward to the honor
of sailing into the heavens & your life again!!
Love & Eskimo Kiss!!

A friend whom we haven't known long...but he made an impact on our life in his knowledge, advice, & just plain "Sailor Commaderie"! You know how you just know......well Barry and Ruth are those people!!

Barry loves to Sail!
 He's a man of many talents...Surveyor...Canvas Man...Rigging Tuner...the list goes on!
He spent many a day working with John doing projects on Our Way.
Up til Barry was too weak to speak he worried and whispered to Ruth about his beloved
 "Another Adventure"

He is truly a Sailor, totally in love with his Ruthie, Buddy, and a special friend to many.
Barry, we will cherish the brief moments we were able to spend with you. 
We are thinking of & praying for his family today while they celebrate Barry's life and say "Goodbye". 
Especially Ruthie...
Barry & Ruthie
Thank you God for the Grace, Patience, Love, and Strength
 you have instilled in this beautiful woman to endure the past 2 years...
Thank you for keeping her strong even as her heart was breaking.
She stood solid in faith & in love. 
I am so proud of her & pray that her strength remains, her faith remains strong, & that you guide her as she learns to continue her life without her Husband by her side. Amen.

She stood by Barry's side through everything~a dedicated Wife & Best Friend...
she drove herself unselfishly to care for & see to it that Barry
made his dreams come true...
She became the "Woman who could do Anything!!
She jumped in an RV...(Motorhome) and drove cross country to fulfill a dream...
The Grand Canyon!! Wow!! 
Barry was elated!!
She crossed off things on the "Bucket List" & made that man smile!! 
They were the "Love of each other's Lives!"
She was so unselfish...she did whatever made Barry happy & comfortable.

Barry...We will keep you in our hearts until we meet again...
Ruth...You will always have a spot for hanging out with us on Our Way Too!!
Love & Hugs~~
