Barry Dean Cullinan
4 July 1957 --- 10 February 2015

Barry “Beech Nut” Cullinan would like to let you know that his time here is done. He received a call, a sort of offer you can’t refuse, for the opportunity of a lifetime from which he will not be returning. This opportunity comes with many perks, including a reunion with family and friends he has not seen in a long time. His new opportunity takes him to a grand place where he will be socializing, dancing, playing cribbage, and singing karaoke. Music, laughter, and love are guaranteed. He left detailed instructions for his daughter, family, and friends to celebrate his mission here, which has now been completed. Low adherence to this instruction will not be tolerated.

We want to let you know that he was a great man and wish him a safe journey. We will remember his smile, his laughter, his passion for music, and his love and dedication to his friends and family.
He was a wonderful man who had great stories, great taste in music, and great pride. Beech Nut never let his MS hold him back and kept his independence (or stubbornness, depending on who you ask) until the very end.

Barry made a difference in the lives of many. We invite you to join us and celebrate together.
Memorial services for Barry Cullinan will be held on Friday, February 13, 2015 at 6:00 PM at Ewing Funeral Home, 1801 Central Avenue East in Clarion, with Pastor Bill Kem officiating. Visitation will be held one hour prior to services at the funeral home on Friday beginning at 5:00 PM. Barry’s family suggests that memorial contributions be made to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
