I am very saddened for you, Liana andMichele, and all of Barry’s family on your loss of your dear dad and brother, uncle and brother-in-law and grand-father. Barry was my first cousin; our families spent a lot of fun time together when we were all younger and living in Alberta. I have enjoyed my virtual contact with Barry in the years since and will certainly miss his sense of humor and computer tips. My sincere sympathy to each of you at this sorrowful time. May Time, Faith and Memories guide you through. xoxo
Liana, Emma and Leah and Lyne. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. We always enjoyed running into Barry and chatting!
I am saddened to hear about the loss of my cousin Barry. I had not seen him for many years but we did have some electronic contact. I enjoyed his sense of humour and appreciated his common sense. Carry your memories of him close in your heart. Wishing strength and love for all of you.

I am shocked and saddened at the sudden loss of Barry. He was my first cousin, and his parents Aunt Norma and Uncle Don were such favourites in our family. We were children together but lost touch for a number of years. We have reconnected the last several years online, and enjoyed getting to know him again, and especially appreciated his brilliant sense of humour. Sincere condolences to Michelle, Liana and the rest of the family on the loss of this special guy. Cousin Shirley (Edmondson) Sarens

I am so sad and shocked to hear this. I worked with Barry for a few years. He was a great guy will be remembered. My condolences to the family.
My condolences to Barry’s family.. Like others who have left messages here, Barry and I were cousins who knew one another as children. I have fond memories of Aunt Norma, Uncle Don and kids visiting with our family in BC. And a camping trip in Kananaskis with uncle Don and our Grandpa Bob frying fresh caught trout over a campfire for breakfast is a memory we no doubt shared. Over the years I heard many positive comments about Barry’s skill with computer networks.. I regret that we lost touch .and I’m very sorry for his families loss.
