VETERAN
Early Life: Barry was born April 14, 1933, in Salem, Utah, to Legrande and Nelda Jensen Carlson. He attended elementary school in Salem and graduated from Spanish Fork High School in 1951. In high school, he played varsity football and received his pilot's license at age 16.

They were blessed with an angel from Heaven, Ricky, their down-syndrome love and joy of their life. Together, they lived a full life, enjoying all that Utah has to offer.
