Guy, Barry L., passed away on his 75th birthday, Thursday, October 20, 2022 at West Shore Health Center in Warwick. He was the beloved husband of Karin (Keller/Ganley) Guy for 25 years. Born in Providence, son of the late Bernard and Bernice (Goldsmith) Guy, he had lived in Warwick for many years.
Barry went to the University of Rhode Island, graduating with a Bachelor’s in Management in 1968.

We are sorry for your loss.

Aside from being a 2nd cousin, ( our mothers were cousins ) Barry was a classmate at Hope and URI. He was instrumental in Hope “64 class reunions and gracious about hosting meetings for the group. He always tried to stay in touch.
Rest in Peace, Barry.

I was so sad to hear Barry passed away recently. He was only 75 years old and actually passed away on his birthday.
I grew up with Barry in a 2-family home on Hope Street in Providence. His mom, Bunny, and my grandmother, Jeannette, were sisters. I hung out with him all the time when we were children. I followed Barry and his brother, Howard, around all the time. I loved them! I have many fond memories!
Barry will be missed by many!
RIP, Barry!
