Sue and Family, It was so sad to hear the news about Barry. He was a very important part of the UW Power Plant family. He was the most helpful person I’ve ever met, from helping move to a new house to replacing a starter on my truck, there was nothing he wouldn’t do to help others. We’ve missed him since his retirement and we’ll miss him even more now. Please let us know if there’s anything we can do to help.
