Barry Edwin Harr

Barry Edwin Harr, 70, of Ligonier, left us suddenly to be with the Lord on

Thursday, August 22nd, 2024. Barry was born on December 14, 1953, in

Ligonier, PA to Eleanor (Umbaugh) Crawford. He was a 1971 graduate of

Ligonier Valley High School. Barry earned an associate degree from Triangle

Tech in 1990. He had worked as an assembly technician at the former

Volkswagen plant, was a co-owner (with his wife) of Big Pap’s Family Restaurant,

as an assembly technician at the Sony Plant, and at Ligonier Valley Real Estate,

Howard Hanna, Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. He was currently the Pastor for

Ligonier Valley Bible Church. Barry was a loving husband, father, and

grandfather above all things. His love of Jesus, his church, and his family, made

him the best possible example to everyone he met. Barry loved to golf. He was

ready to meet the Lord as he realized his dream of beating his son-in-law, Keith,

at 9 holes of golf on August 8, 2024. Barry loved to spend his days in the sun at

the beach or poolside. His favorite color was yellow. He was an avid sports fan.

Always rooting for The Steelers and Alabama…Roll Tide! He also enjoyed

playing bingo with his sister Patty. He was a very “inventive” Scrabble player. His

grandchildren were his greatest joy. Barry is survived by his loving wife and best

and Donald Thiel of Ligonier; daughters, Jennifer Forrest (Clint) of Gap, PA, and
