Barry Robert Bascove, 48, of Suffield, beloved husband for 18 years of Sandra L. (Hamilton) Bascove, passed away peacefully on Sunday, December 17, 2017, at his home.

Born in Philadelphia, PA on June 7, 1969, he was raised in Pennsylvania and was a graduate of Neshaminy High School in Langhorne, PA. After high school, Barry continued his education at Penn State University where he received his Bachelors Degree in 1991. After college, Barry worked as a restaurant manager at the Chart House Restaurants in Philadelphia, PA, Newport, RI, and Simsbury and Chester.

He later moved into healthcare sales with Medical Manager/WebMD. He worked for a variety of healthcare information management companies including Hill-Rom, InnerWireless, and Extension Healthcare, and most recently, he had served as the Director of Corporate Accounts at CenTrax.

Barry was also a talented woodworker and built many things for his family over the years. After moving to their new home in Suffield, Barry installed the hardwood floors and completed the stonework around the fireplace. An amazing cook, Barry always looked forward to trying new recipes and hosting his annual New Year’s Eve party. His outgoing personality and warm welcoming disposition led many to refer to him as the “Mayor of the Neighborhood.”
