On February 10th, 2026 the world lost its brightest star. My dear father, Barry David Polkowitz, left this earthly world to venture onward to his next journey. On February 9th, he completed the last draft of his children's book. His last effort on earth was to distribute the message of the importance of unconditional self love to the children of the world. He was set to go down to the Conscious Life Expo in Los Angeles this week to promote it, but unfortunately left too soon. We are in the process of finalizing the book and getting it to distribution. He also has another business legacy we would love to see carried on. Additionally, end-of-life expenses are coming in, and we are humbly asking for help at this time. There will be a celebration of life in Mt Shasta this spring that everyone is invited to. If you knew my dad you knew he was joyful, authentic, and a friend to all. Let's help his last dream come to light, carry on his legacy, and take some stress off of his family. Thank you so much.
