Many of you will be saddened to learn of the death of our online friend and cyber pal Lee "Rugbysex" Barry.
He was a faithful, friendly, witty, and at times vapid, friend to me and to many of you. He loved sports, especially Rugby, of which he was an avid player, and Water Polo. For several years he has been dealing with one illness or another, primarily caused by serious sports injuries, a tragic accident, and pushing himself too much, but he still loved sports, and whenever he could worked out or swam. He loved poetry and the ocean beach. He delighted in throwing out a foreign word or turn of phrase. He also loved to play music, being an accomplished pianist and organist. He dabbled in a serious career, but for the most part spent his time in volunteer service, lending his expertise to make the world a better place. He was an advocate for the mentally handicapped. He was an ardent fan of our work here, and he loved the back and forth which comes sometimes by posting. He also loved humor and fell into ribaldry quite often. Earthy would describe him at best or worst. His beloved parents preceded him in death, his one much older brother survives. Our online world will remain a sadder place now that he is gone. R.I.P. dear friend. As Always, Eric http://speedorex.blogspot.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "omnisport" group.
