Barry was born in Neligh, NE in 1941, to James Gordon and Bernita (Brown) Thompson, and graduated from Neligh High School in 1959. Barry attended Hastings College and the University of Nebraska-Omaha. He later served in the Army Reserves and Air Force Reserves.
Barry was a successful independent business owner. He was a partner in a commercial snow removal business in Omaha from 1990 to 2019. For the past 15 years, he operated a hay brokering business, shipping alfalfa across the United States. His hobby was breeding and raising quarter horses, including AQHA World Show performer Kokopelli Dancer.
He loved the outdoors and took great pride in his horses. In the 1990s, he named his first horse after the source of his good fortune, Snow. Barry spent the last 30 years living in the countryside north of Omaha, where he could see the sun rise and watch his horses run free. For his surviving family members, this is where their fondest memories with him will forever reside. Barry's greatest joy was taking his grandchildren to feed the horses a bale of alfalfa, throwing birdseed on the lawn, and handing carrots to the donkeys on the property. These were probably some of the happiest days of his life.
