Remembering Barry Schmeck--- We grew up on the hill. You, your siblings and other relatives were the happiest time of my childhood. So happy to have seen you at the Lions golf tournament, and The Merkels gathering this past year. We had a lot of laughs as usual. I know you were a great father, husband, uncle, cousin, nephew, grandfather, and great- grandfather. You also were so involved in your community. Happy memories from the hill and your mom's hungarian goulosh. Forever Friend, Fathie
