♥ ♥ ~ My Cousin ~ ♥ ♥
Barry was the second of five children born to June Ruth Kline and Edwin Milnor Booth, Jr. He was baptized at the Federated Church in Eagles Mere, Sullivan County, Pennsylvania. He graduated from Sullivan County High School in Laporte. On August 31, 1973, he married Cheri Tubach, and they had two daughters. Barry and Cheri divorced in 1978, and he never remarried.
Barry was a self-employed truck driver for more than 40 years. He was a car enthusiast who enjoyed watching top fuel dragsters, and he loved riding his motorcycle - especially in charity rides. He was able to fix anything, had a great sense of humor, was a friend to everyone, and loved his family. He died of a heart attack while his mother was driving him to the Muncy Valley Hospital Emergency Room.
His sister, Tina, found this poem:
TRUCKER'S LAMENT
Those old white lines, are slowly fading
on this old highway, that I roam
there's no street signs, no map is needed
this big rig's headed, on its way home
There's no cargo, no not this time
I've done unloaded, a world of strife
no log book entry, will be needed
my name's down there, in the Book of Life
Those 18 wheels, hear them humming
Rock of Ages, cleft for me
I'm on my last run, my journey's over
I've made Heaven, I'm home you see
Can't you hear, my big horn blowing
no more wide turns, left to make
I'm on a straight run, bound for Glory
where I'll apply, the final brake
Angels are riding, upon my shoulder
Hear them sing, Amazing Grace
on this long, Highway to Heaven
Where I'll retire, in God's embrace
I see the lights, they're growing nearer
I'm almost to, that Pearly Gate
Where Momma and Daddy, will be waiting
I'm coming home, I won't be late
Those 18 wheels, hear them humming
Rock of Ages, cleft for me
I'm on my last run, my journey's over
I've made Heaven, my soul is free
