Barry Fleming

To Barry's wife and family:

I was reading the UofA NewTrails tonight, and saw Barry's obituary. This was the first I had heard about Barry's passing, and I felt such sorrow. I sat right next to Barry all the way through dental school at the UofA, due to our proximity in the alphabetized seating plan. He was always happy and cheerful and made his classmates feel comfortable to be with him. He gave so much to his profession and community, and we will all miss him.
I looked for Barry in our dental courses and meetings, and he was always so gracious to visit with me. We golfed together a few times at the dental golf tournaments, and I was impressed with his ability to play golf and still maintain that happy and pleasing personality. I feel as though I have lost a portion of my life with Barry gone. Please accept my deepest sympathies and condolences, and may you find peace in the coming months. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Sincerely, Mark Evans.

Maureen, Ryan and rest of Barry's family: Please accept our condolances on Barry's passing. We are Nancy's mom and dad and were patients' of Barry. He was a wonderful man and I can't help but mention how kind and considerate he's always been to Nancy. It dawned on me this week that she spent more time with Barry than she has with her family. I know he'll be missed and I want you to know that our prayers and thoughts have been with all your family. We had every intention of being at the funeral, but a dear friend's mother passed away to same day as Barry and her service was also the same day as Barry's, but I was certainly thinking of all of you yesterday.

Dear Maureen, Ryan, Heather & Craig
I am so saddened to hear of Barrys passing. I have so many fond memories of our days in Drayton Valley together; curling, holidaying in Hawaii, weekends at Half Moon Bay and so many more. Barry always had a smile on his face and a contagious laugh and was one of the kindest people I've ever known. He will never be forgotten.
Sincerely Carol

Dear Maureen, Ryan, Heather
We are so very sorry to hear about Barry's recent death. There are no words that could begin to express how much he will be missed by all of us and how fortunate we have been to have known him! Our thoughts are with all of you.
Sincerely. Reimar, Lorraine, Trevor and Jennifer

Dear Maureen, Ryan, Craig, Heather, and families:
We are very saddened to hear of your loss of Barry who was such an active member of our lives and community. We will treasure our times together in Dentistry and life. He led by an example all of us are proud to follow. Our most sincere condolances, Brian and Elena Kucey and family.

Dear Maureen, Ryan, Heather, Craig
Dave and I are shocked to hear of Barry's untimely passing. As neighbours and friends in Drayton Valley, we remember his warmth and engaging personality. May your loving memories of Barry support and comfort each of you. Maureen, sending you a big virtual hug. Love, Ann & Dave Beattie

So very sorry to hear of Barry's passing. I will always remember you as neighbors in Half Moon bay, also the fun water sking summers. Maureen it is not easy, hang in there. You have wonderful family and friends for support. Sincerely Millie Little.

Barry was our dentist from 1985 to 1997, he took very good care of Clayton, Amber and myself for all those years. I remember the time I took Clayton and Amber skiing at Lake Louise and guess who we met at the top, Barry. We share with the Fleming Family in their loss of a great man. We wish you peace in this time of great sorrow.

Having the pleasure of knowing Barry my entire life, I am so very sorry to hear of his untimely passing. He was a wonderful man who often made me smile (even during my dental exams!). I'm proud to have known him and I wish Maureen, Ryan, Heather, Craig and your families peace and comfort as you mourn this significant loss.

Our hearts and prayers are with all of you! Barry was a special man and we considered him not only our dentist but our friend. Know that he will always be remembered for his kindness and humour.
God Bless

A great loss. Besides being a superb dentist, he was a compassionate human being.
My sympathy to all the family.
