My dear Barry community,
It is with great sadness that I write to tell you that John Beaubrun, vice
provost for information technology and assistant professor of computer
information systems, passed away on Sunday afternoon.
John was a good and decent man who was committed to Barrys mission and values.
As a member of our university community since 1983, John served in a variety of
positions during his twenty-four year tenure. John will be sorely missed by all
of us, especially by his colleagues in
DoIT. Like you, I mourn the
loss of a good friend.
Johns family has asked that the Barry community come together to celebrate
Johns life at a funeral Mass in Cor Jesu Chapel on Wednesday, October 31, at
10:00 am. Let us keep Johns family in our prayers.
Linda Peterson,
Provost of the University
