About Barry Seeber


We are sorry to have to pass on this message from Mike Bird in
Australia:
"I am writing because I have just heard that my good friend and former
colleague at Radio Australia, Barry Seeber, passed away earlier today
after a 4 year battle with cancer. He was 65 years old. I produced
Barry in the mid 1980s when he was the presenter of RA's DX and
communications programme "Talkback". He retired from RA in 1997.
"Barry was one of the best broadcasters I ever worked with. His
professionalism and his beautiful voice were legendary. He was also
one of the most considerate and caring people I have ever had the
honour to meet and become friends with.

"I last met Barry in December 2007 when Sandy and I visited him in his
home in Coffs Harbour in northern New South Wales. He was very sick
but he was still able to give us a smile. I know there are many people
around the world who will remember his name and his voice and will be
saddened to hear this news."

Andy Sennitt adds: Media Network joins Mike in offering condolences to
Barry's sister Glenda and his brother Ray, who both nursed and looked
after him through his illness. Thanks to Dave Onley for fowarding the
photo.

I'm saddened to hear of the death of Barry Seeber. I just went through my QSL's
and found the large Talkback QSL I received back in 1984 in commemoration of the
1st Talkback program. It has Barry's picture on it, along with many others,
including Mike Bird.

Thanks for rekindling some good memories.

RIP Barry
