I knew Barry from Boeing. Barry was always kind and helpful to me at work. Always quick with a joke to make your day. One story that will always make me smile,...he would keep an eye out for a few of my bass guitar shipments coming out of Toronto. This was so they would not get lost in the 100's of packages he would receive each day. He did this as a personal favor to me and I always appreciated that. I shipped them to work because no one was home during the day. My condolences to Barry's family. - Posted by: Danny Stimpson (Co-Worker) on: Jan 05, 2021

Barry was a very genuine person, a very gentle soul. I worked with him for 30 years many of those side by side. He didn’t have a mean bone in his body. If he asked you how are you doing he meant it literally. He will be missed by Many. Rest easy bud !! - Posted by: Rick Delaine (Friend ) on: Jan 05, 2021
