    Hey guys to anyone that knew Barry Yanicek from NJ:

    It is with great sadness that I report that he died last night. He was just 39 years old. Some of you guys knew him. Others would surely recognize his slammed blue/white hammered-top 60 Olds 4 door burn out machine. He battled his demons for the past few years and passed from liver failure and other complications as a result of that. Barry was a great body and paint guy and did some really great stripe work too. He was a great friend to anyone he met and will be greatly missed. I will post up an update here for those interested in attending a memorial service for him. It will most likely be here in Manville early next week. Stay tuned here for details.

    Thats very upsetting to hear. I didn't know Barry very well but we crossed paths many times. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

    Thank you to all. Still no concrete service info yet. Should have it worked out by the weekend.

    For you local guys his father is selling his belongings to help pay for all the bills. I put an add in the misc. section "tools in central NJ". He was a body guy and hed a decent amount of stuff. PM me if you want to come look. Offering good deals on it all. There is also a s10 pick up ($1500) and a kz900 ($650) up for sale. Truck is a reliable parts runner. Typical s-10 issues. Bike fired right up and sounded good. Looks pretty clean.
