Boris "Barry" Rapoport

I met Barry in 1977 at CBB Ste. Agathe. I was immediately taken in by his charms and humour. To me he was a wonderful cross of early Woody Allen and Steve Martin. We stayed in touch for awhile, he would visit when he came to Toronto. I only recently looked him up on the internet and was absolutely shocked when reading of the accident. I had only met Clifford in Toronto once. I am so terribly dismayed and words can not express my horror upon reading about this accident and what the...

Dear Rapoport Family,

I knew Barry since my early teen days at camp in Ontario. He was a terrific guy, wonderfully funny, and I am now so saddened to hear of your loss.

Although I had not seen this childhood friend of mine since '84, we had recently been back intouch with email and phone calls in recent years. We had discussed hopes of seeing each other again in Toronto at an upcoming reunion.

Again, I am so saddened by your loss.

My deepest sympathies to...

Dear Angela and Claudia,
Words are insufficient to describe the loss.
Barry was a genuinely great guy, who would engage any and all in conversation and was larger than life. Those of us who worked with him in the investment business all had the opportunity to be cheered up by his smile.

Dear Janice,
Barry was one heck of a wild and crazy guy. His humour will definitely be missed. My sincerest condolences to you and your family for your loss.

Dear Angela and Claudia,
My sympathies to you on the loss of a husband and father. I have many memories of Barry attending Torah School events with Claudia over recent years. Once again, I am saddened over this tragic event.

Barry, I will remember you always with love..........You were a special man
