Location Glen Burnie, MD	Posted on 2012-01-17 at 14:37:15 by Sher Cheshire   I have been recently cleaning out my mother's attic and found my Cowsills scrapbook with all the photos from the teen magazines since 1967 and the program to the concert I got to see them in the summer of 1968 in Columbia, MD. The scrapbook got me into that wonderful "Cowsill" mood and when I got back into my bedroom, I played their greatest hits CD over and over. I wrote on a post-it note to look up Barry. I had an extreme crush on Barry but never got to meet him. The crowd after the concert, I got to chat with John but only got to have my program passed back to get all the other family's signatures. I don't have my computer set up at my home yet so I went to my public library to look up Barry just before this Christmas. Can you imagine the super sad extreme shock to find out about Barry's death. (That's even hard to type.) I wrote Bob Cowsill. I just can't believe that for all those years I didn't know about Barry's death. You can imagine that finding this out in my public library, I had to hold in my shock and tears -- until I got back to my car -- and then I just burst out into uncontrollable tears for quite a while. I feel embarrassed and even a bit mad at myself that it took me this long to find out about Barry. He was eight days older than me. I always remembered his birthday and his middle name. I also remember that John's middle name is Patrick (his birthday's in March?) and that Susan's middle name is Claire and her birthday is May 20. I'm sorry that I never got the chance to meet Barry in person and would still like to meet the rest of the family someday -- now a steady dream of mine. I now have my old teen magazine photos of Barry on my bedroom wall by my bed and on my side table. If anyone would like to write me to share their memories and thoughts, please do: shercheshire@gmail.com I want to send all my love and care to the entire Cowsill family and to let them know that I will ALWAYS love their personalities, their talents, their music. I would love so much to meet them!! But, I am still crying in my heart and always will about Barry. Like a lot of other women my age (I'm now 57), I too dreamed at 14 years old of being Barry's soulmate. My 14-year-old dream of marrying him someday. I will always remember the dreams I had back then of the Cowsills, the dreams I will keep of Barry, and the dreams of meeting the Cowsills in my future.
Location San Leandro, CA	Posted on 2011-09-22 at 09:52:26 by Laura   I was watching Kellly and Regis this morning and Kelly was talking about her daughter's heartthrob which got me to think about who mine was when I was younger. Barry Cowsill! So I decided to google his name and was so sad to read about his death. I have such fond memories of all the music by the Cowsills and all the Seventeen magazines I would clip pictures of Barry out of! I too thought I would grow up and marry him! How silly we are as kids! Thanks for the memories Cowsill Family. Im sure the talent will linger on in your children. Admiration, Laura
Location Traverse City, MI	Posted on 2011-09-14 at 17:04:17 by Jeanette   My best childhood friend and I LOVED the Cowsills. Today I was listening to the radio and they played the Rain, Park and other things and so I started searching the internet. We have so many fond memories of the Cowsills, especially John and Barry (as they were our ages). They came to Detroit, MI probably around 1968 (some mall in front of Singer sewing machine store) and my friend, Karen, and I would not get out of my older brother's car until he took us to see the Cowsills. He did (after trying to pull us out of the backseat of his car)! I'll never forget it! We had all the albums, bought every teen magazine there was on the Cowsills..they were all over our bedroom walls and all we ever talked about. I just found out about Barry and am so sadden. I know how it feels to lose a sibling so young. Love the Cowsills!! Please come to Northern MI!

Location Happy Valley, OR	Posted on 2011-07-07 at 22:40:32 by TammiTune   Not sure why but Barry touched me to the core of my being ever since I was a little girl. He was 3 years older than I was and I always dreamed I would meet him and be his soul companion. Well, that didn't happen in this lifetime but every time I see a picture of you, even still, I miss you and feel a loss at missing out being together this time around. I hope you are at peace; your energy lingers in my heart. Your forever friend, TammiTune

Location ashburnham mass	Posted on 2010-08-04 at 17:24:36 by patty.   I just found out yesterday about the death's of Barry and Billy. It made me very sad. When I was in 7th grade, I loved John and Barry. Those were the best times of my life. I will always remember Barry with fondness. God Bless Barry and all of you.
Location MI	Posted on 2010-08-01 at 12:29:06 by Angela M Guenther   I know it's been 5 years since his death but, it is still hard to believe that he is gone. The Cowsills were a big part of my life growing up. My heart goes out to the Cowsill Family. May God bless and keep you in his loving arms.
Location SC	Posted on 2010-07-21 at 14:42:46 by PADale   I know it has been a few years since Barry's passing. I think of him often and this is one of those days. I met Barry, in 1984 at a tiny little hole in the wall in White Rock, South Carolina. He stayed with the owner of the bar while he played there. We became friends and I instantly gave him my heart. I want his family to know that the Barry I met was the sweetest most wonderful person I had ever met in my life. He had total respect for me as a person. I would go see him perform at night and during the day we would shoot pool at a local store. He loved life, he talked about his brothers and sister often. Barry was so talented, he was a one man band. I know he is in heaven singing those songs he loved so much. He touched so many people's lives directly or indirectly. The last time I saw Barry, he was leaving SC. I gave him a little money and he was gonna hitch hike to where ever the road would take him. I'll always have those memories of Barry and think of him often. Patty D
Location Missouri	Posted on 2010-07-15 at 18:01:52 by Anne   As a original Rhode Islander, I was in love with Barry Cowsill! The Cowsill group was great and I still have some of the albums--yes, I am old enough to have albums. It was great to see the wonderful condolences for Barry. Susan is doing a great job and I believe her Brother would be very proud of her. Barry my not be here physically but is always here in spirit and in our hearts.
