Karen, Craig,

So very sorry for your loss; he was taken too soon.  We have such great memories of your hospitality when we would visit with the MacDonald clan in Hamilton when Ryan and Becca were young.  Barry's visits would often coincide with our own and it was a guaranteed good time with any combination of the MacDonalds.  Sincere condolences from Mike, Kim, Becca and Ryan.

Karen and Craig,

We are so sorry to hear about Barry's passing. I know he will be welcomed with open arms by Joanne, Angus, and the rest of the clan.

I have such special memories of your family trips to Cape Breton, spending days at the beach, and listening to Dream Weaver for the first time in your Hamilton home.

Please know our thoughts are with you both during this difficult time.

With deepest sympathy,
Rankin & Deb

Dear Karen and Craig,
Please accept our condolences on the loss of your brother Barry.

I fondly remember those summer vacations as kids when you would return to CB for a couple of weeks. Fishing off the bridge in Dundee and swimming at Centennial beach.

Barry was a great fellow who we lost too soon.

Sincerely,
Larry and Laura MacMaster

Dear Karen and Craig,
Our thoughts are with you as you cope with the passing of your beloved brother Barry. We know he is united with his loving parents and the whole clan. Take care of each other. Sincerely Nancy and David Stewart PEI

I’m so sorry to hear this sad news, Karen and Craig.  When I moved home from Vancouver, I stayed with your parents and Barry was there as well, having just moved home from the US.  He was so friendly and easy to talk to, he gave me the inside track on health care after hours, and he and Uncle Angus were both so funny, I had no idea before that trip!  I stayed longer than I planned and thought of him often over the years, holding down the (hospital) fort on the night shift.  Take care of yourselves, love Mary Elizabeth

Dear Craig and Karen
I am so sorry for your loss. Barry and I became best friends when we were 5 years old. We spent most of the next 10 years together playing road hockey, reading comics, and best of all playing leggo robot wrestling. In later years we got to see a few great concerts and it was great when Barry could come up to Southampton to be with the boys. He was such a generous soul and I treasure my memories of the great times we had. Rest in peace my friend.
