In honour of Barry and his love for his farm, a memorial garden will be created for him. Anyone wishing to contribute a perennial, tree, garden ornament, or even a splitting from their own garden, may drop it off at the farm and it will be included.
Always the first to offer a helping hand, Barry had a giving heart and often cheered people’s day by completing random acts of kindness. Because this brought him so much joy, the family wishes that in lieu of charitable donations, people are asked to pay forward his altruism and commit to perform a random act of kindness for someone. We honour Barry’s memory by sharing his selfless spirit with others, and by doing so feeling the joy he felt in brightening someone’s day.

This message is a year late. I wish I could have been there and regret our paths from drifting so far apart of these last years. My sincere condolences Laura and family. Barry and Laura were like second parents to me for many years growing up. I have the fondest memories from being on the farm with them. Their home provided me comfort during my teenage years trying to figure life out. You always made me laugh. I learned so many valuable life skills taking care of the animals and life on the farm that have a permanent footprint in my life. Some unconventional skills like tree heists that i will forever laugh at. I am grateful for those memories and photos I have together with you Barry. I wish I could have been there better for you. Your memories will live on forever.
April Nelson says

My condolences to Robert, cousins Kenny and Lori, Joe, extended family and Laura. I will hold dear my youthful memories of all of our Christmas holidays together family cousins, Barry the hockey goalie and tagging along to games over the holidays, summer at the Lake in Armstrong and going to the movies in town to see MASH, and my cool young cousin with the blue Mustang. Will miss the young and carefree spirit of Barry.

So sorry for your loss Laura.
I have some great memories of Barry.
I remember when Paul gave him his Greg Norman… The Shark… hat. I loved that hat. I was so jealous. Paul didn’t know I loved it. Barry said I could have it back but it looked better on him. I’m sure they are having quite the reunion now.
