| My wife and
I knew Barry right back to the time he became involved with
Unicorn Darts. We were licensees at the Greyhound at Danesmoor
Clay Cross near Chesterfield. We were lucky enough to be invited
to the first ever Unicorn Darts Pairs Competition in 1978
at London. Barry became a good friend and was always happy,
helpful, jovial and friendly. I am sure he will be sadly missed
by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.

| In times where
titles are important, World Champion, UK Champion, you had
the greatest: "The man who taught the world to play darts".
I never had the opportunity to meet you but my love of darts
was passed on to me by someone who had.
My thoughts are with your family and friends, God bless you
Barry.

A great player
and a great man, with wonderful humility. I met him in Tulsa
in 1986. He was watching our league match and was interested
when I took out 125 with the first dart at the bull. He said
he'd never thought of doing it that way but that it made sense.
I was truly impressed that a player of his stature and vast
experience could interact so naturally with players of all
levels; when you met him you felt as if you had always been
friends. He represented the highest ideals of our sport, and
will be very truly missed.

| Hearing the news
of Barry's passing was a great shock to me. I always envisioned
Barry as a larger than life personality - an extremely likeable
individual who took life as something to enjoy fully but still
possessed the steel will of a champion. A rare combination.
The world is a lesser place without him.

convey our condolences to his family from the Hong Kong Darts
Association and his friends from Hong Kong SAR, China.

| Well, when I first
met Barry I was in short trousers and he was definitely Mr Twomlow.
A giant of a man in every sense that's when I started looking
up to him, and I never stopped looking up. I watched him so
many times at trade shows and exhibitions winning people over
effortlessly, entertaining them, educating them. Exuding charm,
humour and of course great skill on the oche, you just couldn't
say "No!" to Barry. If making friends was a sport,
Barry was an Olympian.
He is sorely missed, how fortunate we are to have known him.
Our thoughts are with Margaret and the family.
