Remembered by his nieces, nephews, great-nieces and nephews, loving cousins and dear friends.

Barry was a Tool & Die Maker by trade. He used this trade to build Edbar Tool & Die in Guelph, and in 1980 built a new factory in Fergus. It now has a new name, A & E Precision Machining Ltd. owned by his son Brett, and run by Brett’s wife Stephanie. He also bought and ran KBK Manufacturing in Breslau and later sold so he could retire and spend more time at his farm and home in Florida.
As per his wishes, a private family interment will take place at Holstein Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Louise Marshall Hospital Foundation, Groves Memorial Community Hospital Foundation or The Foundation of Guelph General Hospital.
