We shall meet upon the level there, but never thence depart, There's a mansion—tis all ready for each trusting faithful heart, There's a mansion and a welcome, and a multitude is there Who have met upon the level, and been tried upon the square. /G\ From your Brothers - Posted by: Beaver Ionic Lodge #25 (Brothers) on: Nov 26, 2020

Our condolences to Giselle, Amanda, Monica(Mike), Collin, Austin and Jasmine. Barry and I were best friends from the ages of five or six years to the present. During that time we had a very close relationship that was unwavering. I remember us kicking a tin can from school to home. If Barry would see a dog or cat wandering around he considered it a stray and wanting to take it home. I wonder how many pet owners were looking for their pet until Barry's mom made him take it back from where he found it. We became school patrols at Lord Wolseley School then went to John Henderson and after that Barry had aspirations of finding a job. As our families grew I was designated "Uncle Bill" and cherish that to this day. As time went on when we would meet it was as we saw each other only a week ago. We called each other brothers and it was a close bond. Memories of young boys playing, teenagers going on dates, young men starting families and a couple of guys getting older. Barry, you will never be forgotten and will remain my brother. Bill and Helen (Myrt) Klein - Posted by: Bill Klein (Friends) on: Nov 19, 2020
