My heart is so sad at the lose of Barry. He was a wonderful person. Much love to Dianne and family ~ Linda Brown


Barry was like a second Dad to me ❤️ If I wasn’t at home I was with Lauren, if we didn’t like what the other was having for supper, we would go to the other house to eat. Barry was always baking something delicious and was always so happy to have family and loved ones around to share his creations with. I love you Barry and all the Buness family ~ Nicole Neudorf


My favourite memory of Barry is when he took me flying in his airplane. That was my first time flying and it was so cool because he was telling me about everything that we were seeing. We flew over MacDowall and he was pointing out whose houses were whose. Thank you for that experience Barry. ~ Leanne Botha


We were just getting reacquainted and enjoyed our coffees together. Rest in peace Barry and rise in glory. ~ Len and Brenda Gendall

Barry and I went through school together and had many many good times together, I had a very good visit with Barry at the Glen Ewen school reunion a few years ago, I may have not seen Barry in the last several years, but will remember him as a very good friend ~ Glen Benjamin


Barry used to bake such good loaves of bread. I remember one evening sitting by the fire eating a whole loaf! I sure enjoyed it and it was all I needed. ~ Joshua Neudorf


Our hearts are with you Dianne, and your family. I remember Barry from when I was a child visiting Grandma in PA. I loved going to your farm and Barry showing me the hogs and warning me not to get too close! As an animal lover, that was hard! Barry was always so kind and gentle. I have very fond memories of all of you♥️ ~ Lianne Dean
