66 | MAY 12 • 2022 B arry Kadans, 83, of West Bloomfield, passed away on May 2, 2022. He was born in Washington, D.C., and moved to Detroit when he was 13 years old. Following his graduation from Wilbur Wright High School, Barry opened a used car lot, Bargain Lot, on Livernois in the 1960s. He was also an active builder in Michigan from 1965 until his death. Barry was always an adventurous kid and was so excited and proud to join the Navy in 1957. He loved telling stories about his time in the Navy, the jobs he had, including firefighter, security guard and personal driver to the base commander. He loved every minute of the Navy and expressed a desire to join up today. His true passion in life was flying. Barry got his pilot’s license in 1963 after seeing an ad in the Detroit News for skydiving at Romeo Airport. It was too windy for skydiving; instead, he was offered a flight lesson. And so began his lifelong love affair with aviation. He purchased his first plane in 1971; and with his bold and courageous spirit, his pilot’s license and his airplane, Barry’s world opened even more, giving him the opportunity to meet many wonderful people, includ- ing some of his aviation heroes. In 2018, Barry was awarded the Wright Brothers’ Master Pilot Award in recognition of his dedi- cated service, technical expertise, professionalism and many out- standing contributions to further- ing the cause of aviation safety. A pilot must have flown 50 years or more to be eligible for this award. Barry loved last-minute travel plans and spontaneity, but he also loved his afternoon routine of swimming and working out at the JCC. Over the years, it allowed him to develop friendships with people from various backgrounds and walks of life. Barry had a special way of connecting with people; often it would start by simply asking a person about the origin of their name. As the con- versation progressed, barriers fell and Barry made a friend to the end. He used this approach with his doctors, nurses, recep- tionists and radiation technicians, leaving behind smiles and laughs for the care providers. Barry passed away after a year- long battle with glioblastoma. He never complained though he had much he could complain about. He was positive throughout his life and it continued over the past year. His caregivers remarked how they had never helped a per- son as ill as Barry and not hear any complaints. He was the cherished father of Alison Kadans, Jeffrey and Jennifer Kadans, and Mark Kadans; adored grandpa of Sarah and Jacob Kadans; loving com- panion and best friend of Julie Shull; beloved “stepdad” to Julie’s children, Jeffrey and Lynne Shull; devoted son of the late Joseph and the late Rose Kadans. He was predeceased by his cousin and dear friend, Ronald Rossen. Interment was at Hebrew Memorial Park. Contributions may be to Jewish Hospice & Chaplaincy Network, 6555 W .
