Hide AdChantelle Archbould, a close friend of Andrea's, who contributed to the clearance, said their actions showed community spirit was alive and kicking.
"The fact so many people were willing to give up their time shows how much Barry meant to everyone, too.
"He was loved by so many people. He was the kind of person who would put his name down for anything and was always the first to offer help when it was needed. It's nice that we could do this for him."
Barry was just 59 when he died on January 23. His funeral is due to take place at Grenoside Crematorium tomorrow at 2.45pm.
