Barry was a rock to my family and especially my brother. We had many talks that revealed his deep wisdom. Our favorite place to meet was the Joyce on Fourth where we always shared his favorite cinnamon buns. He accompanied me on several fishing trips and I will deeply miss him.

Dear Barry’s family and everyone he knows.

We will miss him a lot and we became fast friends. On Saturdays after church we would have snacks together. He would have a cinnamon bun and he would get me a chocolate chip cookie. I will miss his laugh and his smile and the unique things about him. He gave me a special book that was Anne Franks diary that Otto her father had published for her. I loved to give him hugs.

In holiest praise amen.

Love Serena

Barry was my cousin and a dear friend. I remember the kindness and goodness within him. I remember the happiness and the laughter we shared while "watching" Ravens games together. I remember his visit here with Uncle Wes. I remember sharing our faith and sending internet links of gospel music and/or videos to each other. Although many, many miles separated us, we were close. Barry did so much for so many and was such a blessing. He is free now. Rest easy, Cuz. See you on the other side.

Sandy, Mel and Rick, we are so sorry for your sudden and tragic loss. We are here for you, praying for you and holding you close to our hearts. Never more than a phone call or email away. God bless.

Love Cousins Verna and Kevin.

So saddened by the news of Barry’s passing, condolences to family and friends. I always saw Barry as a gentle giant, kind, caring and loving. We came into the program pretty close to the same time and it was always special to meet up again and share our experiences both good and challenging. I loved his spirit, he was truly a man of God and I’m certain he will be in a better, more peaceful place now. More in keeping with his nature. Rest in peace gentle giant, you will be missed.

Brian met Barry at URSA and became fast friends. We would meet him every Tuesday for lunch. We always had great conversations and Barry always good advice about the topic of the day. We love Barry and know that his soul is in a better place, waiting for the day we will all be reunited. Miss you Barry and your great smile!

Dear Sandra, Rick and Melony, Barry’s unexpected death is sad and difficult for you, I know. Deepest sympathies. I remember Barry’s great laugh, his humour, his caring attitude to all and will miss him terribly. I remember, fondly, the wonderful visit we had with him and his dad when they came here. I remember everything about him, fondly. Love, Iris

Such a lovely guy. Deeply saddened to hear of Barry’s passing.
