Barrie Liss

Farewell to Barrie, a wonderful Gentleman. It was a pleasure to have known him as a friend. My sincere condolences to Anya, Anton, Peter and Paul, and all the family.

So sorry that we will not be able to be with you but we will be there in spirit and we are thinking of you all and wishing you long life. Much love Julia , Armando and Lucas.

Elegy for Barrie Liss by Harvey Mudd Homer assures us that the Fortunate Isles exist somewhere beyond the western ocean, place where heroes live as long as they're remembered. Homer, who valued excellence and honor, would surely grieve that the modern has become an age of cowards, haters, of vile men and liars. We need heroes but they must today be different than the sort that Homer praised, men and women who are decent, kind, and thoughtful. Who are truthful, considerate, and compassionate. Barrie Liss was one of these. The ship that carries worthy souls, and only those, to the Blessed Isles beyond the western ocean has a place reserved for Barrie, a fine gentleman, who, traveling light, goes to the distant isles to join his Marion, who's been waiting, and, like Penelope, has been patient, true, and faithful. For us who will linger a bit longer on this fragile shore, Barrie leaves the memory of his charm, his friendship, and good council. The tide has turned. The ship pulls the hawsers in. The wind stirs. The sails fill.

Nous pensons à Barrie et à toi Anton Avec tout notre amour
