NORMAN BARRY LYON

NORMAN BARRY LYON June 2, 1936 - February 28, 2015 It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of our dear brother, uncle, granduncle, godfather and friend Barry after a short but incredible feisty battle with cancer. He will be missed by his brother Keith, sister Linda and his treasured niece and nephews Chris, Brent, Dana and Scott. He is also survived by his adored grandnieces and grandnephews Jesse, Dylan, Miliya, Brina, Anjuli, Luca and Cody and by his much loved goddaughter Ali. He was sadly predeceased by his nephew Todd. Barry was born and raised in Vancouver, but after completing his studies in Arts at University of British Columbia, moved briefly to New York and then on to Toronto to establish his career. Barry spent over 55 years in real estate development in Toronto during which he became one of the most prominent authorities in condominium development. He established N. Barry Lyon Consultants which grew to become one of the most respected development consultancies in Toronto. He was passionate about both his work and his art. Over the years he has encouraged many aspiring Canadian artists. His humour and compassion will be deeply missed by his Vancouver family and his Toronto "family". Donations can be made to Princess Margaret Hospital or the Toronto Arts Foundation. Condolences can be left at www.aftercare.org A Celebration of Barry's Life will be held in Vancouver and Toronto. Times and venues will be announced later.
