I am posting this at my hunting partner Dave’s request; he is head engineer at Kellyco Detectors where the Minelab Repair Center is located.
It is with a heavy heart that I report Barry who was the repair tech at Kellyco repair center for almost 3 years passed away suddenly this week from a massive stroke. His brother Dave will be stepping in to cover the repair work until they can find another tech. Dave is a retired Naval Maintenance Officer and is very knowledgeable on detectors among other things, Dave trained his brother Barry to do all the repairs and mods…. The repair center will continue to function, but for the next month or so repairs will be slower as they try to catch up on the back log.
The Repair Center asks that anyone who has sent detectors in and are waiting for repairs to please have a little extra patience and understanding as they deal with the loss of a brother, co-worker and friend.
Barry and I became very good friends after I retired and I can’t believe he is gone, at my age good friends like Barry are rare and Barry was indeed a very rare person himself, he had a heart of gold, loved to help other people, it was an honor and a privilege to call him my friend.
