Dallas/Fort Worth TubaChristmas

07/30/2026

Our longtime friend and Tubachristmas volunteer, Barry Montgomery has passed away.

The memorial service will be this coming Friday, July 31st at 3:00 pm at Hadley Chapel, St. Andrew Methodist Church in Plano, off Plano Parkway.

Barry was around for just about every Dallas Tubachristmas since they started almost 50 years ago. The event will not be the same without him.

Hug your loved ones, none of us know how long we will be here. If we don’t see you on Friday, we’ll see you at Thanks-Giving Square on December 24th.
