BARRY VINCENT LAFORTE It is with grief beyond words that we must announce the passing of our beloved Barry Vincent LaForte on Saturday, August 4, 2007. Barry was in Ontario visiting his sister Kimberley at the time of his passing. Barry was predeceased by his father Donald LaForte, his grandfather, Wilfred Crate and grandmother, Frances and uncle Harvey. He leaves to mourn his mother, Phyllis LaForte, brother, Jeff LaForte (Shirley) and sister Kimberly Cardinell, sons, Timothy, Marlon as well as his beautiful little girl, Carmella whom he was planning on visiting just prior to his being taken from us. Also mourning are his aunts, Elsie, Jo-Ann, Valorie, Mary, Christine, Delphine, Vina and Josephine; uncles Delmar Crate, Dave , Lawrence, Gilbert Rundle and David Crate who was raised as a brother to Barry and Jeff. Barry will also be deeply missed by his nephews, nieces, cousins and friends. Barry had limitless talent in Art and Woodworking. He always did his best and the art he leaves behind and the talent that he possessed will always remind us for years to come of the precious time we had with him. Barry was compassionate, a good son, brother and best friend. We will never forget him. Visitation for family and friends will be held on Friday, August 10, 2007, from 7:00-9:00 p.m., with a prayer service at 7:30 p.m. at Bardal Funeral Home, 843 Sherbrook Street. Flowers are gratefully declined. Private interment will take place at a later date. If friends so desire, donations to the Salvation Army would be appreciated. Lodged The rain to the wind said, you push and I'll pelt . They so smote the garden bed that the flowers actually knelt and lay lodged-though not dead. I know how the flowers felt. - Robert Frost BARDAL FUNERAL HOME 843 Sherbrook Street, 774-7474 Ample parking behind Funeral Home Condolences: www.bardal.ca
