He is also survived by 12 grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; and two brothers, Lester Heiserman and his wife Barbara of Lancaster, and Dennis Heiserman of Lititz.

Dennis and Les , we are so sorry to hear the news of cousin Barry’s passing. He was a wonderful guy. I passed his house everyday on my way to Smoketown Elementary. I would stop in to visit Carole and Barry on many trips. To Barry ,his son and Michele both former students you have my heartfelt sympathy. I will never forget when young Barry walked into my classroom. He immediately reminded me of my cousin Barry🥰 To the whole family my sincerest heartfelt sympathy, love and hugs from Florida where we now reside. So sorry to have missed his life celebration.❤❤
