Barry James John Houston

A few weeks ago, I learned that Dr Houston was going to be helping out at the clinic where I work as a Technician. I had heard many stories about his amazing skills with the animals that he sees. Although I only worked with him twice, I admire Dr Houston and aspire to be as good in the field as he was.

His departure is a great loss to the world of veterinary medicine. He will be greatly missed.

Dear Lori and Family,

Barry was such a nice guy always wanting to help no matter how busy he was. Many of us in the Family Life Centre remember him for the valuable contributions he made and for just being such a nice person. My prayers are with you all during this very difficult time. May your memories of happy times help you through. Blessings.

When I moved to St.John's to study to be a veterinary assistant I had to leave my two cats at home in Ste-Anne's. My roommate Martin called me to tell me that a great new vet had set up in Ste-Anne's and we transfered our two cat's files to him. Thank you for your help with Oliver and Kitten, and for all your loving and caring work with the animals of your practice.

My thoughts and prayers are with you on this sad occasion.

I knew of Barry through our mutual working at the Family Life Centre in the West Island. He was noted as a very unselfish, kindly colleague.

It was a pleasure working with Barry, and I am happy to have known him. My heart goes out to all of those he is leaving behind. He was a really good guy.
