I had the great pleasure of working for / with Barron as the manager of his Victoria E.A. Lee store. A better mentor no one could ask for. Generous in spirit and deed, a gentleman through and through, and one remembered each and every day in how I conduct my business. Though you are gone, your legacy will live on. All the very best to family and friends.

My sincere condolences on the passing of Barron. I had the pleasure of working with Barron during my times at both GFT and Hugo Boss. I will remember him as a gentleman with a great sense of humour, and a sartorial leader in Canada.

Dear Diane,
I am saddened to know of Barron's passing, please accept my sincere condolences. I will always remember Barron as an icon of style, a true gentleman of the fashion industry, and a great mentor. E.A.Lee and Barron will remain as an epitome of service and style.... we all learned and were better for our years working for him. And when I think of his devilish ways and remember his twinkling eyes, I miss him. What a man! I am grateful to have known him. Wishing you well Dianne,

Diane and Family
We were so sorry to hear of your loss. Barron always made a visit to Lee's such a pleasure. Barron was the ultimate good host. It was like going to someone's home!
As soon as we got to the door, Barbie headed to the women's section, and I'd go to the men's.
Great fashion, and fine people! Barron built a fine team of really good individuals.
As my wife reminded me, I have been made to look better by JR, Craig, Ryan, and Barron, himself!
My contact with Barron went way back to the days when my father used to purchase his suits from Al Lee,. Barron was in his early 20's, and I was sixteen. A long time ago, but it seems only yesterday.
Barron was a fine man then, and remained that way.
Our thoughts are with you,
Yours truly
Barbie and Mike Fullerton

My sincere codolences. I always enjoyed going into EA Lee and Madison's with my Dad who would share stories of the "old days" while I tried on amazing suites and clothes. You will be missed Barron.

Barron was the first Vancouver merchant to courageously open on Boxing Day, 1975, with a large sale at EA Lee. It was a fantastic success. Barron created a habidashery team like no other, raising the bar for gentlemen's dressing to new heights. Barron was a visionary when it came to men's fashion, style and panache. Thank you Diane for being so devoted and loyal to make his last years so comfortable.
