Dad - I think about you every day and I miss you more than I could have ever anticipated. More than anything I miss your easy going nature, generosity, sense of humour, and willingness to always listen, understand, and help me. Thank you for giving me such a wonderful life. You were a good, good man and the best damn father a child could ever hope for. I will always hold you close to my heart.

Dear Cindy and family, although we never had the privilege of knowing Barry, we know he was a well-loved husband, father and son-in-law. We are thinking of you all with love and heartfelt care as you navigate this new path in your lives. Sending hugs.

Such sadness to hear of Barry's passing.
Hoping that memories will soften the grief you feel now, bringing comfort and peace day by day. Working with Barry for many years at Allstate Insurance was always a pleasure.

"Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. Love leaves a memory no one can steal." I was sorry to hear about Barry's passing. He was a gentle soul and loved by his family and friends. You will be in my thoughts and prayers as you move forward without him. Hugs

I knew Barry through my friend Kevin. We all went to high school at Western and I worked with Barry at CO-OP. Have a lot of real good memories. Thank you Barry.

Sincerest condolences to all of you. I worked with Barry at Allstate Insurance for a few years in the early 2000's. Barry was always friendly and willing to share his vast knowledge of the business of claims. He also stopped in AMA a year or so ago to say HI to all the folks he knew there. May your memories keep him close.

My sincere condolences to you all. Barry was my boss, but he never acted like it. He was always approachable, always smiling, always kind, always understanding, and he was always willing and eager to discuss and teach. He will very definitely be missed.
