It is sad news indeed to hear of Barry's passing. Barry, my old Heavy Gang chum. I'm remembering you in happier times, though they were tough times for us railwaymen back when we worked together (1985-1991). Those of us who knew you, remember you as a person who could most certainly be passionate about things that mattered to you, but was an easy-going person by nature. You obviously could quietly make an impression on people because I haven't worked at CN for over 13 years, and I still remember you . You will be missed. My condolences to the family. - Posted by: Barry Neil (Co-Worker) on: Sep 27, 2008
