Barry BOOTHMAN Obituary
February 10, 1953 – December 5, 2015
With great sadness Barry's family announces his peaceful passing at the Rocky View Hospital in Calgary after a long struggle with alcoholism. He is survived by daughter Jenna (Sean) Meehan, granddaughter Aurora, and is lovingly missed by sisters Louella (Wally) Komadina, Wainwright, AB and Bonnie (Daniel) Cameron, Moncton, NB as well as by his very special friend and cousin Lorraine Boothman, Calgary, AB, who was with him when he passed. Barry also leaves to mourn nephews Mark (Georgette) Komadina and Carey (Tracey) Komadina, niece Catherine (Russ Skulmoski) Komadina, great-nephews Brent (Alexa) and Mason, and great-nieces Sarah (Cody Dunbar) and Kennedy. Barry had a special place in his heart for his Aunt Dorothy Boothman and for great-niece Sarah with whom he recently created a special bond. An accomplished musician, charmer, salesman extraordinaire, a special brother, we will miss him. In keeping with Barry's wishes cremation has taken place and there will be no service. If desired, donations to a charity of choice may be made. No flowers please. Messages of condolence may be left for the family at www.myalternatives.ca

A very sweet man - great sense of humour and a groovy bass player. He was like the Rick Danko of Fosterchild. RIP Barry.
