Our deepest sympathy to all the O'Connell family. I've known Barry for 25 of the 30 years that I've been visiting Spain and for all that time he's been uniquely hospitable, intelligent and interesting. I always make a point of visiting Fuengirola to meet him and had arrangements made to be there today. I can't believe we won't see him later for tapas and a tubo or two. Goodbye my friend. Jackie and I will really miss you. Rest in peace.

The last time we met Barry he travelled from Waterville to Rossbeigh to give us a banana & chocolate cake (one he’d baked himself) and a t-shirt for Louis. He was kindness and generosity personified, and great company. We will miss him terribly.

Our most sincere condolences to Grace, Michael and Ruth and their families.

Since arriving on the Costa del Sol Barry has always been sharp witted, bright, smart and fiercely loyal.

Always with a kind word for our children, he was a good friend and a good man.

You will never walk alone.
