    Dear Elsie,
    I am so sad for your loss. My condolences go to you, Allan, Allison and Barry’s precious grandchildren. Owen and Zoey were lucky to have such a wonderful grandpa! He often talked to my sisters at the store about his family and how proud he was of his son, Allan. He enjoyed his grandchildren so much! And Jay and I have wonderful memories of the times we spent together. Please accept our sincere condolences for your loss.

    I am sorry for your loss. Barry was one of the best greeters we had at Walmart. He will be missed by so many co-workers and customers. He always had a smile for me and a “witty comeback”….I will miss him. Thinking of you at this sad time.

    Dear Elsie and family
    I was saddened to read of Barrys’ passing. We go away back to when he lived at 1 Perry St. He was 5 yrs older than me, but always was willing to help me learn how to ride my two wheeler. I have not seen you and Harold since public school days, but have fond memories of all of you. I am so very sorry for your loss. Barry looks so much like how I remember his dad. They were wonderful people. Hugs and prayers …Ronalee

    To Elsie, Allan, Allison & Family
    We are so sorry to hear of Barry’s passing.
    We just saw Barry at Walmart about a month ago and shared a laugh as he asked if our neighbours (Allan and family) were noisy.
    Please know we are thinking of you and your loss.

    He was always there to greet me with one of his stories and now he has a whole new group of old friends he can greet and tell his stories to.

    I am so sorry to hear about Barry’s passing. I know he loved going to McDondalds with his grandchildren. And oh how he loved his grandchildren along with his family and family trips. He will be greatly missed at Walmart with his great smile and whit. I would enjoy talking to him many of times with the changing of the shifts or if either of us would come in shopping. He was a great greeter and worker. I was also proud to call him my friend. He was a great man and will be greatly missed. I am so sorry. My prayers with your family.
