Not sure what to say?

Barry and I were surgery residents together. He was a generous and loyal friend. I deployed several times and always appreciated his devotion to patients and the mission.

Very sorry to see this , he was such an interesting and committed trauma surgeon

Barry´s medical expertise in trauma surgery will be ever appreciated by my family as he used his knowledge and connections with our son´s injury while practising medicine in Dryden. I extend my sincerest condolences to you and your family Jennifer. Rick and I always enjoyed our chance encounters in Thunder Bay and appreciate his dedication to his chosen profession. In remembrance Cheryl Victor

I joined the Canadian Forces sometime after Dr. Armstrong released but I worked to meet the high standards that he set. My deepest condolences to his family.

Please accept my deepest condolences on Barry's passing. We were medical students together in the class of '79 at the University of Calgary. He lead a courageous life which could not have been easy. My thoughts and prayers are with you

And a post-script, he was really funny too. I loved his dry wit. I am so sorry for your loss.

My deepest condolences to the Armstrong family. I had the honour of working with Maj. Dr. Armstrong during a surgical rotation at the NDMC in the mid-1990s. This was obviously a very fraught time, and I admired Dr. Armstrong's dedication to truth and duty. I have few regrets in life, but one of them is that I never explicitly told Dr. Armstrong how much I respected his decision to do the right thing. As a now middle aged person, I appreciate even more how difficult and important that...

My condolences to Jennifer and family. I have many vivid memories of Barry, as a fellow student at the University of Calgary, as a brave witness at the Somalia inquiry, as a family friend with whom we shared good times in each other's home. May he rest in peace and the good that he did for so many live on in memory.
