Msgr. Barry's grave is on the north side of the "new" section of Holy Cross Cemetey in Pomona, at the foot of the statue of St. Joseph and the Boy Jesus, halfway between the main entrance driveway and the cemetery office building.
The grave marker was installed during the week of March 25, 2009. The image is the Our Lady of the Assumption Parish logo, derived from Revelation 12:1ff: "A woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars."
Incidentally, of interest to parish "old timers," in age or in spirit, Monsignor Donald Strange, who became pastor in 1948, shortly after the parish was established, and who built the church, the auditorium, and the Bonita school building, is buried at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Orange. After leaving Our Lady of the Assumption in 1963, he became the pastor of Holy Family Cathedral in Orange, and the Vicar General of the new Diocese of Orange. (The Vicar General is the first assistant to the bishop.) He died on January 13, 1994.
