Some sad news I heard
I was at the Subaru dealership here talking about my SVX and the SVX they have for sale. I asked if anyone has looked at buying theirs and he mentioned they almost sold it (to bjones here on the network).
They then told me that he recently passed away. I was kinda shocked to hear that. I know he had bought another SVX elsewhere but the news caught me by surprise! My condolences go out to his family and friends.

Barry did indeed bought another SVX. I have the details somewhere, and he even shared some info about a Subaru focused wrecker in Canada on the west coast. I haven't heard from him since...
Now I'm bummed out... Condolences to the family... I knew he had a son, and they were working on a Talon project... VK |

Very sad to hear. Although it's sad, it is good to know why he has been absent. It gives us pause, to wonder how many other members have "disappeared" for this reason, and we'll never know.
My condolences to Barry's family. He will be missed.
