As we get older, it's so sad to see friends from so long ago pass away, but so thankful for the memories that they've left in our hearts. Ran into Barry shortly after college and we had the chance to catch up. He was funny, thoughtful and had such an enormous passion for cooking. Was hoping to catch up with him again at the reunion but . . . . . . life is so fragile. ♥
I am so sad to learn of the passing of Barry Martin,, We sat next to each other in Mrs. Freeman's 4th grade class at Broadview. We found out we had the same exact Birthdays, which we thought were pretty cool. I noticed he wasn't on my friends list on Facebook,, after 2019, now I know why.. RIP Barry,🙏, you were very fun to be around when we were kids 😁😁
Sorry to hear of Barry's passing. I remember him as always having a smile on his face. We didn't have any real contact other than passing in the hallways. He seemed like a nice person, good to hear that that is how others who knew him better than I remember him.
I believe I met Barry in 6th grade at Broadview, he was the tallest guy in the room. Such a nice guy, loved sports. I had been in contact with him as he had moved away after going to Thompson and told me he actually didn't graduate from Ingraham but still had so many friends here. I told him of our 40th in Redmond & he was there w/ his wife. They had moved from Olympia to Kirkland. Like Barb said, he loved cooking & I went to a cooking class of his prob 12 years ago in Ballard. He had a site on FB called, Welcome to the cookout. The man knew his recipes & food! Such talent. I could make this longer but will end by saying I've tried calling him the past 2 years. No Answer. Barry was a great guy!
Like Sherman, I first met Barry in the 6th grade at Broadview. Barry was an outgoing and charismatic guy. I recall him playing lead guitar in a band at Thompson Jr. High school. I think it was him, Larry Greene on drums and Steve Boyce? I lost contact with Barry after he left Thompson. He was a good guy, and lots of fun. RIP.
Remember the time Barry convinced us to all turn our desks around to face the rear of the classroom? (At Thompson Jr) Can't remember the teacher, but I remember he walked in, did a double take, and left the room immediately in angry frustration. Chagrined, we turned our desks quietly around and were waiting quietly when he returned.
Barry was always pushing the envelope and I see that he did this with his cooking adventures. Would have loved to known him longer and heard some of these stories. Looks like he had an interesting life with Cook Like A Warrior.
Not sure where to send condolences. Let me know if anyone does know.

Always enjoyed his sense of humor. Hadn't seen him since high school but was hoping to find him at the 50th.Jane Pedersen (Schilperoort)
