It is with great sadness to hear that John Helmsley (aka. Barry) passed away on Sunday at a hockey game. Here is a link to his bio: http://www.howardforums.com/member.php?u=754
To those who knew him, knew that he was very helpful to the HF community and offered a lot of technical info that we all benefitted from.
Barry: Thanks for all your help you have given me and to us here at HOFO and you will be missed.
I will post information about funeral visitation times when it becomes available. To those who receive this information before me, please add to this thread so that it may benefit all of us who would like to pay our respects.

Folks,
When Steve Punter told me that his wife has been trying to reach me for something important, I thought that she may want me to buy her something nice in Hong Kong. However, I am still having a hard time to believe this sudden tragedy even at this moment. We have just left each other voice mail over the weekend before I left Vancouver for Asia.
Barry may be a little strange to some but to many who have been around since the days of USENET, he was a fixture in the cellphone geek community.
From now on, I have got one fewer friend to go for movies, to trade/test/play the handsets with, to poke around flaws and problems at the carriers, to argue about cars and other gadeget stuff... And, one fewer guy to be hunted by the white van. However, all these great times and memories will remain with us forever.

When we become stronger, we will hit back. And we will make pain, and they will suffer. Because we would have preferred for them to live and let live, but if they play unfairly, our day of revenge will come.
