John Barry - Sad Passing
|
John Barry (Agfa) recently passed away peacefully with his family by his side. John was one of the IPF's most significant supporters. At a time when the IPF struggled for sponsorship, AGFA (i.e., John) always came through for us. John is pictured below with Denis Whelahan and Paul Stanley.
