Barry Eugene Behrle Obituary (1941 - 2008)

Barry E. Behrle, son of Tony and Margaret Behrle passed away on August 15, 2008 in Salt Lake City due to complications of pneumonia and lung cancer. Although his home was in Florida, we brought him home to us on Sunday August 10, 2008 so he could pass with his children and grandchildren near. You should have seen the smile on his face. It was priceless. And I’m sure worth the long journey. My brother Eric flew home with him on “Rescue Jet”. Thank you Eric. We’re sure he felt the comfort of knowing you were there by his side. Barry is survived by his children Eric John Behrle, Valerie Leah Behrle; grandchildren, Mariah, Aaron, Noah, Brandon, Justin, and Miranda and lots of loving friends. Thank you to his wonderful friends “Cub Culbertson”, “Fran Rowse” and Rose Mary Keller, (his biking buddies who stood by his side through his Alzheimer’s.) We couldn’t have managed without you. Thank you Liane Nielson who stood by my side through every trip to Florida and every hard decision I had to make. Thank you to all the doctors, nurses and caregivers. It’s so hard to care for a loved one who’s so far away and you did a wonderful job. Thanks also to Pete Kit and Sheila. A viewing will be held at Jenkins-Soffe South Valley, 1007 W. South Jordan Parkway (10600 So.), Monday, August 18, 2008 from 6-8 pm. He will be cremated and taken back to Florida for the party of the year. A Celebration of Life to be announced later.
