Born in Bethlehem, Barry was the son of the late Edward and Shirley (Druckenmiller) Schippang. After graduating from Liberty High School, he began working as a machinist, first with Bethlehem Steel Corp, then with Clayton H. Landis Company, and finally with Industrial Services Corporation in Easton. He had the “MacGyver” knack of fixing or building anything, and enjoyed working on his home improvement projects. He also enjoyed cars and going to car shows, and riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle. Barry was a member of the Zinc City Motorcycle Club, the Bethlehem Volunteer Fireman’s Home Association, and of Trinity Episcopal Church in Easton. More than anything else, he loved being with his wife and children.
