Meyer Barry Goldstein

Captain Meyer Barry Goldstein of Grapevine, Texas departed on his flight to heaven on Friday, November 15, 2019. He left us peacefully with sudden heart failure. Barry was born in Chicago on February 23, 1956 and was raised in Benton Harbor, Michigan. Barry flew for American Eagle for 35 years and was happy he was ending his career as their #1 in seniority at the Chicago base.

He leaves behind his beloved June, son Joey Goldstein, stepson Justin Pell, mother Carol Williams, sisters Kathy Hudspeth and Karolyn Carlson, brother John Kurnyta , and the most amazing cousins and family on the Goldstein side.

Barry loved people and would make friends wherever he went. We would run into someone he knew wherever we traveled, whether it was a temple in China or a winery in France and it wasn’t always other airline people, some were prior passengers or people he met along the way. Barry leaves behind a close circle of friends who will miss him as much as his family does.
