Honoring the Legacy of Jim Barry: A Theatre Icon
Donation protected
We are deeply saddened to hear the devastating news of Jim Barry's passing. Jim was a cherished father, husband, grandfather, brother, friend, and colleague. He was also an icon and legend within the theatre community. His kindness, unwavering dedication, and vibrant spirit touched the lives of countless individuals.
For those who had the privilege of knowing Jim, you know that he was the heart and soul of 44th Street. His wisdom guided many, and his welcoming presence on his beloved St. James stoop made everyone feel at home. Jim’s impact on the community left an indelible mark on all who knew him. Without him, 44th St. will never be the same.
Jim's passing leaves a void that can never be filled, but we can come together to honor his memory and support those he loved. This GoFundMe has been created to assist Maryann (aka “Dimples”) and his family during this incredibly difficult time. There have also been discussions about memorializing Jim in some way within the theatre district, and any extra funds will go toward helping making that a reality, if possible.
Any contribution, no matter how small, is deeply appreciated. Let’s celebrate the life of a true legend and ensure that his legacy continues to inspire and uplift the community he cherished so much.
Thank you for your support, and let’s keep Jim’s spirit alive in our hearts.
