Barry and Rich - Thank you both for creating and sustaining a wonderful culture here at Aeries. It was beautiful to witness from afar as a customer, and even better to witness from personal experience as an employee. Have a wonderful retirement, and take deep joy knowing that your legacy continues!

Rich - I will never forget when you said "One day, I want you to be able to say 'I did everything I could for my kid, not I did everything I could for Aeries.' and that is why I will be here for a very long time.

Barry, I will forever miss our "gabbing" sessions about my department.

Congratulations Rich and Barry. I will forever be indebted to the opportunities Aeries has presented to me and the life it was able to give to me and my family. I hope you both enjoy retirement. You deserve every minute of it!

Congratulations on your retirement, Barry and Rich! The world is your oyster and now you have the time to go forth and conquer it! It's been incredible working here at Aeries and experiencing the good fortune of being employed by a family-run business with the best family in the business. I admire in both of you, the ease with which you put everyone at ease by being the most down-to-earth bosses I have ever had. Your penchant for shooting the breeze with any and all is truly a wondrous quality. We need more Barrys and Richs in the world.

My favorite Barry memory is the time you told me I could not wear the "No Whining" ribbon at Aeries Con. When I went to rip it off my lanyard, you chuckled and said, "Lighten up, I'm just giving you a hard time." I live for fun and laughter, and you always bring that.

My favorite Rich memory is playing poker with you and the guys at Aeries Con. It was humorous watching you spot the guys as they went out, just so they could play a little longer. Such a fun time.

Wishing you both, and your families, the best in this exciting new chapter. May it be filled with relaxation, adventure, and all the things you love. Treasure every moment. See you at Aeries Con!

May each day be a new adventure filled with joy! Thank you for the gift of the amazing company you have built and letting us be a part of it. Happy Retirement!

The statistics we heard earlier today at the virtual retirement were about businesses in general, but statistics on family-owned businesses I bet wouldn’t be as high. Your family had the core values throughout all these years- the single thread through it all, was your “family values”  You have thanked us so many times, but really, we thank you for making Aeries happen for us!

And I personally thank you from the bottom of my heart.   Congratulations on your retirement!

Thank you, Rich and Barry, for your dedication to Aeries and the opportunities you've provided to all of us. We'll continue to honor Jerry's legacy. I'm thankful to have been able to work with you both and I wish you the best in your well-earned retirement.

Congratulations on your retirement Rich!
As you embark on this new chapter, I want to take a moment to express how much your support has meant to me. When I became the first female second-level support agent so many years ago, your encouragement and kindness made a world of difference. You always made me feel capable and valued, and that support has left a lasting impression on me.

I’m sad that I don’t have any pictures with you to look back on, but the memories of your impact on my journey here will stay with me always. Thank you for being such a significant part of my story at Aeries and everything you have done for the company. Wishing you all the best in your well-deserved retirement—may it be filled with joy, relaxation, and all the adventures you’ve dreamed of!

Barry- I have so many great funny pictures of you from the last 25 + years. Especially photo-bombing ones! This was a favorite though. There the 3 of you are at the bottom of the escalators at the Sacramento Airport to start conference off right! I'm so happy you are going to travel and have fun with family and friends. I will see you around for sure! Love Michele

Barry & Rich,

It's been a blast working with you guys at Aeries and while it's really hard to believe that you're both riding off into the proverbial retirement sunset I couldn't be happier for you and your families.

You'll leave behind an incredible legacy of extremely hard work, unparalleled dedication to the company and your customers, and a true joie de vivre that is rare in the C-suite for most tech companies these days. You will be missed but always remembered.

Enjoy your new adventures with gusto, my friends!

Rich- It's been well over 25 years since we met. I was working at South Pasadena High School and we were using SASI III. I've had the pleasure of working in the office with you and being part of your family for so many life events as well as work events. I am so happy you are retiring at at great age (same as me lol) to fully enjoy the next chapter. I'm not saying goodbye just see you around. Love Always, Michele

Dear Richard and Barry. Congratulations on this next step on your lives. I did not get to know either of you very well, but I am happy to be part of the company your family built. My first job when I graduated college was for my father's data processing company. I have many good memories from that time, and this company reminded me of those days, with the generosity and spirit that only a family business can have. I am green with envy and I hope to join the high rank of retirees very soon. Wishing you all the best!

# data[].attributes.body
Rich and Barry, thank you for creating something so special with Aeries. Even in my short time here, I’ve felt the impact of your dedication and the incredible culture you’ve built. You’ve truly made this a family, and I am so grateful to be a part of it. Wishing you all the best as you enter this new chapter!

I have never experienced a workplace with so many great and dedicated people. You built an amazing culture where people are the priority and everyone was motivated to go above and beyond every day because we knew that we were all in this together like a family. I hope you know how rare this is in todays world and I am glad I got to be a part of it.

You will be missed!

Thank you for always being so thoughtful and kind person all of us. I loved how you surprised us with sweatshirts, jackets, tshirts, and Aeries swag. They would just show up in the mail! I wore mine with pride. So much fun! Wishing you a wonderful retirement. It my pleasure to represent Aeries and work for you. I wish you every success and think you immensely. God Bless.

Barry,

I have shared my gratitude with you several times for all your did for me throughout my tenure at Aeries. I can't thank you enough for taking the chance to hire a "new" employee, who had minimal interest in the client server, in a remote capacity. It was quite a risk at the time! However, for me, it truly was the best career move that I ever made. I got to do what I loved and be a part of the Aeries family. It was such an honor. I wish you every success and thank you immensely. God Bless.

Happy Retirement, Barry & Rich! I hope this next chapter is filled with many awesome and fabulous adventures!
