After hockey he worked as a sales consultant with Eastern Chrysler and Century Motors before forming his own Advertising Specialties Company in 1983. Barry made friends easily and possessed an extremely upbeat, outgoing personality. He had a great zest for life and believed in living life to the fullest. Sincere thanks are extended to the doctors, nurses and staff of the Health Sciences Centre Dialysis Units, MICU and IICU for their care.
