Barry Barush, KRFY Board member and valued member of the north Idaho community, passed away on Friday, January 11. Barry was a hard worker, and his presence will be dearly missed. He believed in the mission of community-supported radio for north Idaho and spent many hours volunteering at the radio station, not only as a Board member, but also as chair of the Events Committee.
Levon Helm, member of the Band, sings “Too Soon Gone,” a song in play rotation at KRFY. The lyrics include: “Time sweeps me forward, as memory is caught / Too soon gone, too soon gone.” Barry is too soon gone, but his legacy of volunteerism, dedication, and commitment will be remembered for a long time. We are all better people for having known Barry. .
