<img name="imgSendFlowersBanner" src="http://storage.funeralone.net/store/img/SendFlowersGiftsv4.png" id="imgSendFlowersBanner" border="0" style="margin-bottom: 3px;"> Portsmouth, RI - Dr. Barry Alan Mellow, aka Lombasso Karaunch, 68, of Water Street, died peacefully in his home surrounded by his family on Monday, April 9, 2012. There was nobody on the planet like Barry Mellow and there never will be. From roses and guns to yoga and cartooning, Barry was the exception to the rule; a jack of all trades, master of many. Hobbies became passions, passions became skill sets and Barry's unrivaled zest for life always manifested in new and surprising ways. He was the husband of the late Jeanne Mellow, father of Tara Mellow, Becky Breslin, Katie Gross, Cherie Waluk and Laura Mellow, and grandfather/Poppi to Alex and Sam Breslin, Molly Carlson, Ben Gordon, Savannah and Evangeline Gross, Waverly Waluk and brother to Gail Urban and Audrey Korn. Born in Chicago, Illinois to the late Jay Mellow and the late Edith Korn, Barry grew up romping the city streets, becoming the ultimate foodie. He went to college and medical school in Chicago before taking a residency in New York City where he met and married Jeanne. The two explored Manhattan on a bicycle built for two before the city boy and his wife moved to Rhode Island in 1972 where they remained married for 40 years. Barry worked as an Emergency Room doctor at Kent County Hospital for 30 years and in Urgent Care at Charlton Memorial Hospital for the last eight. Cool under pressure, he handled an ER well. Five daughters, however, cost him his hair. An avid reader, an avid motorcyclist, an avid gardener----Barry was a true renaissance man. His curiosity and appetite for excitement led him all over the place---from the most beautiful corners of New England, through volumes of books about bacon, to building a fine jetty by hand along the river. An at-home Jeopardy champ, there was no sharper mind or better sense of humor than his. Unable to live without his Jeannie, who passed away just 17 months ago, Barry followed her to the grave. He will be missed always. Calling hours will be held on Friday, April 13th, 2012 from 4-8pm at Connors Funeral Home, 55 West Main Road, Portsmouth, RI. A memorial service will be held Saturday, April 14th, 2012 at 11am at the funeral home. Further information may be found at www.memorialfuneralhome.com
