Surviving is a son, Chad W. Acker; granddaughter, Abriella Acker; and a sister, Pamela Walter.
Barry was a member of Leamersville Church of the Brethren. He was a 1971 graduate of Claysburg-Kimmel High School.

He loved his garden, especially the tomato plants, and taking care of the lawn. He always made sure his sister's supper was on the table as soon as she walked through the door. He also loved taking his family out to eat on Friday or Saturday night.
Friends will be received from 3 until the 6 p.m. funeral service Tuesday, Dec. 19, 2023, at Leslie-Miller Funeral Home, Claysburg, with Pastors Stephen and Marilyn Durr officiating. Interment at Greenfield Cemetery.
