Dear Gertrud, Suzanne, Melanie, Blair, Aird and all of Don's extended and extensive family,
Our hearts go out to you as we share in your loss. We know that you will miss him dreadfully and so shall we. No need to tell you what a very special person he was: raconteur, bon vivant, officer and gentleman, charmer -- and you know we prized him as a great friend. The funeral was a magnificent tribute, which he would have loved. May his spirit be with you always.
With love and prayers,
Diana and David

My condolences to Donald Barwick's family. I knew Donald for only a few months after meeting him with David Nicholson at the Veteran's Hospital in Ste. Anne de Bellevue. I visited him on Tuesday mornings. He was always pleased to see me and enjoyed the Manchester Guardian, which I passed on to him from a friend (Don's mother was born in Manchester). Last month, the nursing staff said Don was downstairs. However, I could not find him anywhere. At last, he was waiting at the bank to replace the bank card he had lost. When the paper work for that was done, we went to the canteen and Don bought his weekly 6/49 ticket. Donald was an interested and interesting person, and a real gentleman to the end.

My condolences to the entire family from my mother, sister and myself.
Mr Barwick always spoke proudly of his children and family. He was a dear friend of my father's. I am sure there was a drink at the Ritz together and discussions about many topics including cars!
My memories go back many years to meetings at the Grenadier Guards and other functions with Gertrud and Amely more recently.

Our thoughts go out to the Barwick family.
Although my direct memories are too few, my father always spoke very highly of Donald, as he spent many years as an employee of Barwick Printers.

Dear family - my sincere sympathies are extended to you and yours. Don was the best man at my wedding to Pam in 1951, and we had been great friends for many years before that. I will always remember him as a great guy. So sorry.

My deepest condolences to you, Gertrud, and to the whole family. I was honoured to have known Don for almost 30 years through business, and also socially from time to time - and I shall miss his capacity to make me laugh!

Don's benevolence and generous spirit came out to all of us in so many circumstances. His brilliance, style and enjoyment of life has left us with a legacy of civility and humor that will endure.
There will always be a blue chair at the Ritz and an amazing picnic at Jacobsen's Farm.
