Barry died Mar. 25, 2001, in a hospice in Cincinnati of cancer. He was 73. He came to Princeton from Hill School, was a member of Cap and Gown Club, the Tiger, and WPRU.

Barry started his working life in the firm Gordon B. Miller & Co., founded by his father. The firm was in the recognition industry, providing awards and programs to Fortune 500 companies. He then spent time as an account executive with firms in the Chicago area. In 1977 he returned to Miller & Co. as chair and CEO until he sold the company to Josten's, Inc. He is remembered by one class member as highly creative.
