Robert Lee Barry, age 62, of Jackson, Ohio passed away November 7th, 2021, at his home. He was born March 28th, 1959, in Grayson, Kentucky to the late Lucille (Davis) Barry and James Barry.

Robert, Uncle Robert, Uncle Pap, or Bert as he was affectionately known was a hard-working man with a heart of gold. He was an excellent woodworker, enjoyed talking politics, and loved a good debate. He was strong in his faith and loved going to church and talking about religion. One of his greatest joys in life was his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Children were naturally drawn to Robert and he loved them as much as they loved him. His friends and family will miss him dearly.

Besides his parents, he was preceded in death by his brothers, James, Harmon, and Tom, as well as several nieces and nephews.
