I respected Barry as a colleague and friend. He had an unwavering commitment to social justice and a great sense of humour. He engaged deeply and always wanted to know more about the other person's point of view. I know how dedicated he was to maintaining health and fitness, and I was very distraught to learn of his sudden passing. Though he left us too soon, he lived his life fully and with gusto. He shared with me his beliefs on forgiveness and making amends as connected to his faith, and I try to incorporate that approach in my own life. I am grateful to have known Barry.

This came as a shock to me, a thorough gentleman that I had the privilege of meeting in my home in Goa, India along with his wife Sandra. My heartfelt sympathies to Sandra and all his close and dear relatives and friends. I'll miss his emails - Marconi

Barry was a true gentleman. He loved to engage with other people, whether to discuss personal circumstances, political developments, or issues of public and social policy. He spoke softly, listened intently, and always interacted respectfully.

He also loved to travel with Sandra and was eager to share his experiences in various destinations around the world. As Sandra put it, he seemed to feel at home everywhere.

We have lost a kind and loving spirit. Our deepest condolences to Sandra and the rest of Barry's family.

Barry was a kind and giving man. We worked together trying to forge a poverty reduction strategy in central Edmonton wherein I learned much from Barry. He never wavered from the strong personal values that he believed.
I am very sad that he has left this earth but I know his life touched many people. Thank you, dear Barry.
My deepest condolences to Sandra, family and friends. Janice Melnychuk
