Barry Friedman of Sea d Sea Dive Shop

[fnfalman]

I hadn't planned on an outing, but I'm going diving this weekend to celebrate Barry's contribution to the sport and for bringing me into the sport.

Barry was a big time NASDS store-Scubapro , Bailey suits, full retail-also full service.

Sea D Sea was my local store. Lots of fun dives.

"Bailey Suits", my first favorites... R.I.P. Barry:cool2:! Maintaining S/P dealer status requires dedication, P/K, and selling a fair volume of product.

OK... I just found out about Barry's passing (I know, more than a year later...) I did a search for Sea d' Sea and came across this site. From 1977 to 1981, I was a teenaged FIXTURE at the shop and Barry pretty much LET me hang out and "grow up" there. I will forever have fond memories of Barry, "MDW" Mark D. White, Doug Toth, Hank Harper, Ed Rea and Nancy, along with so many others... Mark White, who worked at S'd S, taught me how to drive a stick on his BRAND NEW 1979 Chevy pickup and even let me use it on a date! Unfortunately, MDW passed away years ago and I never got to really tell him and thank him for his time and attention.
I know this may seem like a ramble, but PLEASE- Tell the people who had an important part of your life that they really mean something special to you...
RIP in your Bailey "Santa Claus" dry suit Barry. If someone reads this who knows any of the above or Nancy, please tell them Hello from Hank...
