He is loved and will be dearly missed by his mother, Carol A. Cadwell, with whom he made his home; a sister, Amy L. Francione; nephew, Ryan M. Cadwell, both of Dundee; niece, Brianna S. (Chad McCabe) Budd of Horseheads; numerous cousins; an uncle, Robert Crans; and two aunts, Jane Cadwell and Sylvia Cadwell, all of Dundee; his best 4-legged friend, "Sassy"; and countless friends and neighbors who helped in many ways during his illness, the staff at Dandy Mart, and the Crossing Diner.

He was pre-deceased by his father, Leo F. Cadwell, on Feb. 15, 2009. Barry wanted to publicly thank special friends Mike Westfall and the Raymond Hoover family and the Mennonite Community for all of their love and support.
