"He didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it." ~Clarence Budington Kelland
My father, Barry William Recht lived every day of his life with excitement and love for each moment. Those who knew him gravitated toward him-- his personality so outgoing, his demeanor so inviting-- his very existence was a magnetic force. For a man who loved so many and did so much and made such an impact on those around him, 58 years was simply not enough time. On June 19, 2007, Barry lost his final battle with the chordoma brain tumor that he fought so fiercely for over three years. He has been painfully missing from this earth ever since, but his energy lives on in and inspires his family and friends, and even those who never knew him. On June 8, 2024, Team Orrick will participate in the Northern California Brain Tumor Day at the SF Zoo in memory of my dad and in honor of all those whose lives have been affected by brain tumors (including several of our current and former colleagues). There are too many of us and the pain is too great to bear alone, but the HOPE prevails.
